A new review synthesises evidence that somatic support cells eliminate germline cysts in flies and mice through a conserved ...

A research group has developed a technology for mass-producing uniform artificial cells (lipid bilayer vesicles) with artificial model nuclei using microfluidic devices with high reproducibility. They ...

In work conducted both at UC Santa Barbara and the Physics of Life Excellence Cluster of TU Dresden, biophysicist Otger Camp s and his research group have found that cell nuclei control the ...

Cells from rapidly growing, highly metastatic tumors often contain numerous rings of extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA). This ...

In tissue biopsies, cancer cells are frequently observed to have nuclei (the cell's genetic information storage) that are larger than normal. Until now, this was considered a sign that the cancer was ...

In work conducted both at UC Santa Barbara and the Physics of Life Excellence Cluster of TU Dresden, biophysicist Otger Campàs and his research group have found that cell nuclei control the ...

Every time a eukaryotic cell divides, it faces a monumental challenge: It must carefully duplicate and divide its genetic material (chromosomes) equally, and then rebuild the nuclear envelope around ...

A study headed by researchers at NYU Langone Health has found that herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) partially liquifies the tightly packed, gel-like interior of human cell nuclei to help copy itself ...
