The cell nucleus is considered to be the control center of vital cellular processes, but its material properties continue to puzzle scientists. An international research team has now developed a new ...

Certain epigenetic modifications can directly control how genetic material is packed in the nucleus, RIKEN researchers have ...

Using computer simulations, chemists have discovered how nuclear bodies called nucleoli interact with chromosomes in the nucleus, and how those interactions help the nucleoli exist as stable droplets ...

Using advanced microscopy techniques and computational modeling, researchers have discovered how herpesvirus infection affects the host-cell nucleus. Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä ...

For the first time, quarks and gluons were used to describe properties of atomic nuclei, which until now had been explained by the existence of protons and neutrons. The temporary pair of correlated ...

Back 2.8 billion years ago, while Earth shifted its plates to make new continents and violent volcanoes produced new crust, life crafted a novel invention of its own. 1,2 At first, the nucleus was ...
