The nuclear pore complex (NPC) controls what moves in and out of the cell nucleus. Scientists have long debated how its ...

New mechanism determined for passive transport of biomolecules through the nuclear pore complex of cells. Research can help guide the development of future therapeutics for human diseases such as ...

Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are tiny but sophisticated gatekeepers that control the flow of materials between a cell’s nucleus and its cytoplasm by quickly selecting which molecules to transport ...

Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are channels composed of multiple proteins that ferry molecules in and out of the nucleus, regulating many critical cellular functions, such as gene expression, chromatin ...

An international study led by the University of Basel has discovered that nuclear pore complexes—tiny gateways in the nuclear ...

Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are massive multi-protein complexes that act as passageways for the transport of molecules into and out of the nucleus. Given their central role in gene expression, ...

Students learn about the nucleus in ninth grade biology — it's the inner sanctum of biological cells, where the genome resides with the blueprints for cells to make proteins that are the ...

Because viruses have to hijack someone else’s cell to replicate, they’ve gotten very good at it—inventing all sorts of tricks. A new study from two University of Chicago scientists has revealed how ...
