When cancer cells are physically squeezed, they mount an instant, high-energy defense by rushing mitochondria to the cell ...

Before cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can ...

The cell nucleus goes a long way during an immune response, both literally and figuratively. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. New research published in Science ...

Infrared vibrational spectroscopy at BESSY II can be used to create high-resolution maps of molecules inside live cells and ...

This study provides insights into how environmental factors may translate into biological changes not only for parents, but ...

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 ...

While most research on the biology of aging has focused on cell division, cells such as neurons and cardiomyocytes do not ...

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 ...

The cell nucleus goes a long way during an immune response, both literally and figuratively. The white blood cells in question are cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), also known as killer T cells. These ...
