The transportation of certain molecules into and out of the cell nucleus takes place via nuclear pores. For some time, detailed research has been conducted into how these pores embedded in the nuclear ...

In eukaryotic cells, the nucleus houses the genomic material and transcription machinery that allows the cell to develop and perform its role. In different cell types, nuclei show diverse morphology ...

Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, report in ACS Applied Nano Materials a new method to precisely measure nuclear elasticity—the stiffness or softness ...

Traditionally, luminescence has not been able to provide sufficient spatial resolution at the microscopic level without the use of expensive imaging equipment. The new Olympus LV200 microscope has ...

An active exchange takes place between the cell nucleus and the cytoplasm: Molecules are transported into the nucleus or from the nucleus into the cytoplasm. In a human cell, more than a million ...
