Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the 'pacemaker' controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought.

Genomes contain the complete library of information required to build and maintain a living organism — the figurative blueprints of life.

This coupling – essential for cell division to proceed – must withstand the tension as the motor protein walks and enable the nucleus to be delicately maneuvered.

Researchers have developed a new mathematical technique to begin to understand how a cell's nucleus is organized. They hope this understanding will expose vulnerabilities that can be targeted ...

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 ...

Clinging to the ends of filaments called microtubules, the glue they discovered ensures the nucleus is correctly positioned for cell division. The findings, published in Nature Cell Biology, explain ...

The outer membrane of the cell, meanwhile, remains undamaged. “This is exciting because we can selectively create these tiny breaches in the nuclear membrane to access the nucleus directly, while ...
