An international team of scientists has unveiled the most comprehensive model yet that explains how cells control the flow of ...

In yeast, the CDK and cyclin proteins that drive cell division activate first in the nucleus — a different location in the cell from where was previously thought. James E. Ferrell Jr is in the ...

Just as life pulsates in big vibrant cities, it also prospers in crowded environments inside cells. The interior of cells is densely packed with biomolecules like proteins and nucleic acids. How is ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the "pacemaker" controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the pacemaker ...

Researchers have made a significant advancement toward understanding how the human genome is organized inside a single cell. This knowledge is crucial for analyzing how DNA structure influences gene ...

Cancer cells are subjected to high mechanical pressure that leads to a rupture of the nuclear envelope when migrating through narrow tissue structures, as in the case of metastasis. DNA would normally ...

The longevity of naked mole rats may partly be due to them having a variant of a key protein that boosts DNA repair – a ...

The first animals must also have invented ways to produce the many different kinds of cells we have today; muscle cells, ...
