The nucleolus is a well-known structure in the cell nucleus that is easily visible under a light microscope. This nuclear structure is known to be the site of ribosome production. A new study shows ...

All cells in the body have the basic ability to protect themselves from infection, called the innate immune response. But how cells do this is not very well understood. Recently, scientists from the ...

The size of a cell's nucleolus may reveal how long that cell, or even the organism it belongs to, will live. Over the past few years, researchers have been piecing together an unexpected link between ...

The nucleolus is a liquid-like cellular organelle where protein factories called ribosomes are assembled. Researchers knew of three distinct compartments within the nucleolus, but how these ...

New research has advanced understanding of how the nucleolus is assembled through a process called liquid-liquid phase separation and has identified a protein that plays key role Researchers have ...

For a long time, as the most prominent subnuclear structure, nucleolus has been recognized as a main site where rRNA processing and ribosomal subunit assemblies take place. It has not been until ...

An essential component of living cells, the nucleolus underwent a major evolutionary shift around 300m years ago. Scientists have solved an age-old mystery in biology by discovering a protein found in ...
