Researchers have created an array of nanopillars that can breach the nucleus of a cell -- the compartment that houses our DNA -- without damaging the cell's outer membrane. This new 'gateway into the ...

DURHAM, N.C. – Duke University bioengineers have not only figured out a way to sneak molecular spies through the walls of individual cells, they can now slip them into the command center -- or nucleus ...

In a pair of papers published in the same issue of Cell in 2015, two groups showed that putting physical pressure on cells—by confining them, for instance—causes previously stationary cells to start ...
