Viruses are known to use the genetic machinery of the human cells they invade to make copies of themselves. As part of the ...

Anyone who's been pleasantly surprised that they can still ride a bike or swim laps after a long hiatus might surmise that ...

In addition to the nucleus, eukaryotic cells may contain several other types of organelles, which may include mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus ...

can also be located in the cell nucleus, where the genetic material resides. Remarkably, nuclear Talin-1 was shown to influence the expression of genes that regulate cell-to-cell connections.

“The position of genes within the nucleus did not always correlate with their activity,” explains Mrinmoy Pal, first author of the publication and doctoral researcher at the Institute of Epigenetics ...

Prokaryotes are organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and other organelles. Prokaryotes are divided into two distinct groups: the bacteria and the archaea, which scientists believe have unique ...

While AGO2 usually works outside the cell nucleus, in conjunction with infection, the virus manages to move the protein into the nucleus, where it turns off genes that are key to the immune system.
