A team of Yale researchers discovered how a protein called Ndc1 coordinates nuclear pore and envelope assembly after cell division, an important component of understanding how cell nuclei change in ...

Within a cell, the nucleus is surrounded by the nuclear envelope—two layers of phospholipid membrane that prevents the nucleus mixing with other parts of the cell, thus protecting the cell's DNA from ...

Researchers have discovered a DNA repair mechanism that advances understanding of how human cells stay healthy, and which could lead to new treatments for cancer and premature aging. Researchers at ...

Expansion microscopy reveals the structure of huntingtin aggregates inside the cell nucleus. Huntington’s disease is a devastating neurogenerative disorder caused by a mutation in the HTT gene that ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered a DNA repair mechanism that advances understanding of how human cells stay healthy, and which could lead to new treatments for cancer and ...

Scientists at the Utrecht University in the Netherlands say they have identified a new way in which the toxic protein aggregates associated with Huntington’s disease may damage nerve cells and cause ...
