The work, with the model plant Arabidopsis, may have implications for future treatments for inherited diseases in humans. Plant and animal cells carry most of their genes on chromosomes in the nucleus ...

Open any biology textbook and you’ll find a diagram of an animal cell, with its internal organelles--the nucleus that houses the genes, for instance, and the ribosomes that translate those genetic ...

Knowable Magazine reports on super-resolution microscopy breakthroughs, revealing intricate cellular details, enhancing ...

If the nucleus is removed from the cell then the cell will not be able to function properly, it will not be able to grow. All the metabolic functioning of the cell will stop.

The size of a cell's nucleus varies from one species to another, in different cell types and at different stages of development, and even with disease: many cancer cells develop larger nuclei as ...

The eukaryotic cell is neatly compartmentalized into membrane-bound organelles that perform various functions. Among them, the nucleus houses the genetic material.

The other study describes how membraneless organelle formation affects the cell. Another tool called CasDrop enabled the scientists to analyze the combination of DNA and proteins, called chromatin, in ...

The inside of a cell is packed with stuff; from big organelles to small molecules, the cytoplasm is the suspension which contains all those components. Researchers at MIT wanted to know more about how ...

The magnetic bead exerting 50-piconewtons of force on the nuclear envelope caused deformation of the nucleus. Credit: Wang et al., Sci. Robot. 4, eaav6180 (2019) Being able to directly probe ...
