Researchers at the Kennedy Institute have provided the most comprehensive overview to date of how the distinctive segmented nucleus of neutrophils influences their function in health and disease.
Scientists have uncovered how a newly discovered gene, NEK1, in which mutations have been linked to ALS cases, disrupts the function of the motor neuron and causes it to degenerate and die. The viral ...
Chloroplasts, the plant cell's green solar power generators, were once living beings in their own right. This changed about one billion years ago, when they were swallowed up but not digested by ...
Findings in nuclear physics theory have received several Nobel Prizes (1975-nucleus vibrations and rotations, 1963-nuclear shell model, 1949-meson exchange model of nuclear forces). Despite these ...
Kanazawa University, have discovered how a gene-regulating protein forms tiny liquid-like droplets inside the cell nucleus ...
The import of large molecules into the nucleus is an active process that requires the presence in cis of a nuclear localization signal (NLS). Although these signals have been well characterized in ...
Nature’s rarest type of atomic nucleus is not giving up its secrets easily. Scientists looking for the decay of an unusual form of the element tantalum, known as tantalum-180m, have come up ...
