Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland), in cooperation with national and international research groups, have ...

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 ...

Gene therapy holds the promise of preventing and curing disease by manipulating gene expression within a patient's cells.

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

A recent international research project has used advanced microscopy techniques and computational modeling to discover why ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the 'pacemaker' controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the pacemaker ...

Researchers have used advanced microscopy and computational modeling to show how herpesvirus infection affects host-cell nucleus structure.
