Supercomputer simulations have revealed how changes in the shape of the HIV-1 capsid protein may help the virus squeeze its ...

The study is published in the journal Cell. Nuclear pore complexes are the guardians of the human genome that is packaged into the nucleus of all cells. They form selective channels through the ...

Scientists uncover how the nucleolus, a tiny structure within cells, may control aging and lifespan, opening new ...

Right now, approximately 20 billion red blood cells are busy traveling through your blood vessels. They are delivering oxygen ...

One hypothesis is that the DNA loops could determine which genes are switched on in the cell. Inside a nucleus, chromosomes jumble together like a game of Twister. This can bring regulatory elements, ...

The primary distinction between these two types of organisms is that eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus, and prokaryotic cells do not. The nucleus is where eukaryotes store their genetic ...

Researchers created replicas of 3D cell structures inside Minecraft and made them available for anyone to use in their own installation of the game.

The new atlas shows the types of cells in fat tissue and their functions but doesn’t clarify if the differences cause ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed ...

Nuclear pore complexes are the guardians of the human genome that is packaged into the nucleus of all cells. They form selective channels through the envelope of the nucleus and connect its ...
