Plant Cells: How Chloroplasts Communicate With The Cell Nucleus Date: March 30, 2007 Source: Salk Institute Summary: Scientists have identified three different signals that indicate damage to ...

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.

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 ...

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 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 ...

Open a basic biology textbook published decades ago or one published a few months ago, and both will define the two major categories of cells in the same way: Eukaryotes have membrane-bound ...

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 ...
