The nuclear pore is a protein-lined channel in the nuclear envelope that regulates the transportation of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. In eukaryotic cells, the nucleus is ...

This microscopic metropolis relies on an intricate gateway—facilitated by nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) within the nuclear envelope—to control its molecular traffic. advertisement Phys.org ...

In a study in Nature last week (March 15), researchers report that they have created a 3-D model of the nuclear pore complex in Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells. The architecture of the gateway, ...

In human cells, lipid droplets (LDs) predominantly contain either cholesteryl esters or triacylglycerols. This article ...

Just as cities must carefully manage the flow of cars in and out of downtown, cells regulate the movement of molecules into and out of the nucleus. This microscopic metropolis relies on an ...
