The cell nucleus is considered to be the control center of vital cellular processes, but its material properties continue to puzzle scientists. An international research team has now developed a new ...

Eukaryotic cells store genetic material in the nucleus and separate it from other cellular components using a double-layered membrane called the nuclear envelope (NE). This compartmentalization allows ...

The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is a eukaryotic cellular structure that regulates bidirectional traffic of macromolecules across the nuclear envelope. Solving the intricate structure of this ~120-MDa ...

An international research collaboration led by the University of Surrey's Nuclear Physics Group has overturned the long-standing belief that the atomic nucleus of lead-208 (²⁰⁸Pb) is perfectly ...
