From middle school biology we were always taught that the nucleus is the “control center” of the cell, similar to how the brain is the control center of our own bodies. At first glance this makes a ...

Figure 1: The nucleus of SKHep1 cells contains a nucleoplasmic reticulum. To confirm the relationship of these structures to the ER, we examined the intracellular distribution of the ER protein ...

COLD SPRING HARBOR, N.Y. (Nov. 30, 2010) --The nucleus of a cell contains its DNA and is the site where DNA replication, transcription, and RNA processing take place. Within the nucleus, nuclear ...

We used a microarray approach to measure genome-wide mRNA expression in nucleus accumbens tissue from 26 donors (see Table 1 for demographic and related sample information) with known loneliness ...

Actin, a protein with a well-known job in the cytoplasm and an active role in muscle contraction, moonlights in the nucleus. It's function there was not understood, but now scientists find that it ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

Chloroplasts, the plant cell's green solar power generators, were once living beings in their own right. This changed about one billion years ago, when they were swallowed up but not digested by ...

The artificial cell nucleus (right) constructed using the purified DNA was morphologically very similar to the natural cell nucleus derived from an egg (left). A team led by Professor Kazuo Yamagata ...
