From middle school biology we were always taught that the nucleus is the “control center” of the cell, similar to how the brain is the control center of our own bodies. At first glance this makes a ...
Just as life pulsates in big vibrant cities, it also prospers in crowded environments inside cells. The interior of cells is ...
COLD SPRING HARBOR, N.Y. (Nov. 30, 2010) --The nucleus of a cell contains its DNA and is the site where DNA replication, transcription, and RNA processing take place. Within the nucleus, nuclear ...
Every time a eukaryotic cell divides, it faces a monumental challenge: It must carefully duplicate and divide its genetic ...
The nucleus is guarded by a highly secure door, the so-called nuclear pore, that controls the transport of substances from the cytoplasm to the cell nucleus and back. A research group has now shown ...
The androgen receptor (AR), a nuclear transcription factor, mediates male sexual differentiation, and its excessive action is associated with prostate cancer. We have characterized a negative ...
Scientists have discovered a new kind of synapse in the tiny hairs on the surface of neurons. The commonly overlooked protrusions called primary cilia contain special junctions that act as a shortcut ...
The INTREPID study group, a team of 49 researchers from 30 academic and medical institutions, reports on sustained five-year ...
