Inside all living cells, loosely formed assemblies known as biomolecular condensates perform many critical functions. However, it is not well understood how proteins and other biomolecules come ...

What can the shape of the nucleolus tell us about a cell’s response to drugs? Researchers use advanced microscopy techniques ...

The nucleophosmin (NPM1) gene encodes for the most abundant nucleolar protein. Thanks to its property to act as histone chaperone and to shuttle between the nucleus and cytoplasm, the NPM1 protein is ...

Inflammatory cytokines are key signaling molecules that can promote an immune response, thus their RNA turnover must be tightly controlled during infection. Most studies investigate the RNA decay ...

Research at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland) reveals that autonomous parvoviruses, such as canine parvovirus, are highly capable of affecting the internal balance of the nucleolus. The results ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? More than a decade of research shows that the nucleolus—the largest structure in the ...

Deep within the intricate world of cellular biology, scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have made a remarkable discovery about aging that could transform our understanding of human longevity. Their ...

Everyone has that one friend who's the life of the party, bringing people together and keeping everyone connected. Now, researchers from Japan find that an unusually structured protein plays a similar ...
