Nuclei are held together by a quirk of nature, without which there’d be nothing. Two protons next to each other in an atomic nucleus are repelling each other electromagnetically with enough ...

Mitochondria are specialized structures within cells that are primarily responsible for energy production but that also play a key role in how cells respond and adapt to stress. When their ...

The genetic material governing a cell’s function and behavior, called the genome, is safely stored in the nucleus. Nearly 150 years of looking through microscopes has taught pathologists and ...

Beyond classic stress signaling: How mitochondrial stress softens the cell nucleus and alters cellular identity by Anna Euteneuer, University of Cologne edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Robert Egan ...

The production of D-2HG creates a bridge between mitochondrial dysfunction and the mechanics of the cell nucleus, an unexpected form of cross-talk that changes how we think about adaptation in ...

Piercing the nucleus of a cell without destroying it seems like a technical feat. Yet, researchers have just found a non-invasive method that could revolutionize gene therapies. A series of ...

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 ...

HIV infection requires the virus to enter a cell and gain access to the well-guarded nucleus in order for the viral components to be integrated into the healthy cell's DNA.
