Every second, hundreds to thousands of molecules move through thousands of nuclear pores in each of your cells. A new high-definition view reveals the machine in action.

In A Nutshell Researchers at Tokyo University of Science developed a method to create fluorescent, irregularly shaped ...

The origin of the nucleus remains hotly debated among scientists, but new imaging and genomic data are shedding light on this billion-year-old mystery.

Cellular-level information is routinely used as part of clinical diagnostics 1. Laboratory workers use a microscope to inspect cells on glass slides to detect early signs of cancer in organs such as ...

With a so-called cryo plasma-FIB (Plasma Focused Ion Beam) scanning electron microscope with nanomanipulator, Goethe University in Frankfurt (Germany) is expanding its research infrastructure with a ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair. Instead of choosing between seeing big structures or tiny particles, researchers ...

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 ...

Cervical cancer has become one of the most malignant tumors that threatens women's health worldwide. Liquid-based cytology (LBC) examination has become the most common screening method for detecting ...

New NE-AFM method measures nuclear stiffness in living cells. It shows cancer nuclei change softness with chromatin and environment, aiding diagnosis and treatment. By employing a technique called ...

Cells are busy places packed with molecules that jostle, react, and move. Biologists have long pictured the nucleus as the most crowded spot in that bustle, yet new measurements say otherwise. A multi ...
