Using advanced microscopy techniques and computational modeling, researchers have discovered how herpesvirus infection affects the host-cell nucleus. Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

Some of the signs of aging in human cells originate in the cell nucleus, because the packaged form of DNA changes with age.

Langone researchers discovered that oral herpes viruses loosen the centers of cells in order to replicate more effectively in a host cell. In their March study, researchers including first author Nora ...

Cancer cells with a cell nucleus that is easily deformed are more sensitive to drugs that damage DNA. These are the findings of a new study by researchers at Linköping University in Sweden. The ...

A cell nucleus reconstituted in vitro in Xenopus laevis (African clawed frog) egg extract. Left image shows a fluorescence image where DNA has been stained and right image shows a density map of the ...

Scientists at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, have discovered how a gene-regulating protein forms tiny liquid-like droplets inside the cell nucleus (the compartment ...

In a recent landmark study, scientists have unveiled how HIV-1 penetrates the cell's nuclear barrier—a discovery that could reshape antiviral strategies. The research, led by Professor Peijun Zhang, ...
