Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) targets important cells of our immune system, making infected individuals more ...

Deep within the nucleus of every cell lies a structure smaller than a pinpoint that may hold the secret to aging. Scientists ...

Nagayama, K. and Hirooka, Y. (2025) Changes in the Mechanical Environment of the Nucleus with Cell Crowding and Its Effects on DNA Damage Resistance. Journal of Biosciences and Medicines, 13, 230-242.

After all, there must have been a time when the ancestor of eukaryotes did not possess a nucleus; the question is whether that cell possessed a mitochondrion or not.

Each human body cell contains 46 chromosomes. These can be arranged into 23 pairs. Each chromosome in a pair carries the same types of genes. The 23rd pair are the sex chromosomes: In females ...

New research from the Center for Physical Genomics and Engineering uncovers how 3D genome structures generate cellular memories, paving the way for advances in medicine and longevity through cellular ...

When we hear sounds, specialized cells in the cochlear nucleus are the first to process that information, enabling our brains ...

Nuclear speckles—microscopic structures found in the nucleus of a cell—were first identified more than a century ago. They are believed to intermingle with DNA and play a role in regulating ...

This is possible because of careful regulation within the nucleus of each cell and involves thousands of regulatory proteins that localize to precise places in the nucleus. Because the nucleus is ...

Researchers explored the influence the mechanical stiffening of the tumor cell's environment may have on the structure and function of the nucleus. In 2022 alone, over 20 million people were ...
