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 ...

Proteins need to come in and out of the nucleus, the control center of the cell, to give different functions, such as telling the nucleus to switch on or off certain genes.

Scientists show how stem cells process DNA with speed and precision, revealing principles that could lead to programmable DNA ...

A study published earlier this month in the journal Nature Communications has identified a new pathway that human immunodeficiency virus uses to enter the nucleus of a healthy cell, where it can ...

A new study has revealed how HIV squirms its way into the nucleus as it invades a cell.

The HIV capsid acts as a molecular transporter, smuggling the genome into the cell’s nucleus while invisible to anti-viral sensors in the cytoplasm.

Researchers from Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and ETH Zurich have discovered how proteins in the cell can form tiny liquid droplets that act as a smart molecular glue.

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 ...

Our cells produce a variety of proteins, each with a specific role that, in many cases, means that they need to be in a ...

A pizza shop with 30 delivery people ought to be able to deliver a lot of pizzas—if their cars don't break down on the way.
