The 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the development of CRISPR/Cas9, a method also known as "gene scissors," which enables researchers to better understand how human cells function and ...

The artificial cell nucleus (right) constructed using the purified DNA was morphologically very similar to the natural cell nucleus derived from an egg (left). A team led by Professor Kazuo Yamagata ...

ChromAgeNet analyzes the architecture of chromatin (how the DNA organizes in the nucleus) to distinguish young and aging ...

Aging progressively affects how our bodies function. Among other effects, it reduces the ability of the hematopoietic system—the organs and tissues responsible for producing blood cells—to maintain ...

Cell division, a process fundamental to life, still holds surprises. Researchers from the University of Zurich and the ...

Direct interactions between the cell’s powerhouses and nuclear pores might channel energy straight into the nucleus, fuelling cell division and differentiation. Menendez-Montes et al. investigated ...

The cell nucleus goes a long way during an immune response, both literally and figuratively. The white blood cells in question are cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), also known as killer T cells. These ...

The cell nucleus goes a long way during an immune response, both literally and figuratively. New research published in Science Immunology shows that in some white blood cells, this genetic storage ...
