Paving way for new therapies, researchers decode how parasites that spread one of the world's deadliest diseases use trickery ...

Some of the signs of aging in human cells originate in the cell nucleus, because the packaged form of DNA changes with age.

Emily Spaulding, Ph.D., a Maine native and Assistant Professor at the MDI Biological Laboratory, has received a $2.3 million, ...

Melanoma is one of the most dangerous common skin cancers. It starts in melanocytes, the skin cells that make melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour. Cancer doesn’t appear overnight. A normal ...

Researchers have found hundreds of metabolic enzymes attached to human DNA inside the cell nucleus. Different tissues and cancers show unique patterns of these enzymes, forming a “nuclear metabolic ...

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland), in cooperation with national and international research groups, have shown that DNA viruses infect cells and take over the host cell nucleus, ...

In the murky waters of Ushiku-numa, a freshwater pond just northeast of Tokyo, a microscopic drama has been playing out for eons, entirely unseen. Here, single-celled amoebae drift through the silt, ...

Tethered within the pore are highly dynamic protein threads termed FG Nups (green). Under living conditions, cargo-carrying transport factors (pink) interact with the FG Nups, loosely forming a ...

Cervical cancer has become one of the most malignant tumors that threatens women's health worldwide. Liquid-based cytology (LBC) examination has become the most common screening method for detecting ...

New NE-AFM method measures nuclear stiffness in living cells. It shows cancer nuclei change softness with chromatin and environment, aiding diagnosis and treatment. By employing a technique called ...

A hidden structure inside the cell is rewriting how scientists understand leukemia. Beneath the microscope, what looked like disorder turned out to follow a simple physical rule – one that connects ...
