A eukaryote is any cell or organism that possesses a clearly defined nucleus. Eukaryotic cells form the foundation of complex, multicellular life, including apple trees, mushrooms, fish and humans.

Cancer cells are subjected to high mechanical pressure that leads to a rupture of the nuclear envelope when migrating through ...

Just as life pulsates in big vibrant cities, it also prospers in crowded environments inside cells. The interior of cells is ...

The basic building blocks of all living things are cells. The body of humans is made up of trillions of cells. Plants and animals are made up of cells. They are considered as the basic units of life.

For more than 30 years, scores of reports have provided evidence for the presence of actin in the nucleus, but until recently the functional significance and even the validity of these findings was in ...

A novel pathway by which proteins are actively and specifically shuttled into the nucleus of a cell has been discovered by scientists. The finding captures a precise molecular barcode that flags ...

Researchers have demonstrated that an actin scaffold stabilizes the cell nucleus upon mechanical stress. This protective ...

Light can be used to control the transport of proteins from the cell nucleus with the aid of a light-sensitive, genetically modified plant protein. Biologists working in the field of optogenetics have ...

Bone implants often fail to fully integrate with surrounding tissue, limiting their effectiveness in regeneration. A natural but often overlooked cellular process could hold the key to better outcomes ...

Because viruses have to hijack someone else’s cell to replicate, they’ve gotten very good at it—inventing all sorts of tricks. A new study from two University of Chicago scientists has revealed how ...
