Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) targets important cells of our immune system, making infected individuals more ...

A team of physicists has devised a novel strategy that uses naturally occurring motions inside the human cell nucleus to measure the physical properties of the nucleus and its components. The ...

The DNA of human cells consists of a sequence of about 3.1 billion building blocks. Cells go to great lengths to maintain the ...

Markers for SON (red; left image) and SRRM2/SC35 (green; center image) highlight where nuclear speckles are located (right image) in relation to the cell's DNA (blue). The nucleus is around 10 ...

New 3-D imaging reveals how human cell nucleus organizes DNA and chromatin of its genome Structure determines function. Revealing the dynamic and structural interactions of DNA in the nucleus has ...

The researchers discovered that the human cell nucleus has a previously undetected type of motion: its nuclear envelope flickers, or fluctuates, over a period of a few seconds.

Cramming meters-long DNA strands into a cell’s tiny nucleus is an astonishing feat. A new study suggests that cells from plants (shown), animals and fungi accomplish it one of two ways.

"This photo is the most detailed model of a human cell to date, obtained using X-ray, NMR, and cryo-electron microscopy data sets," reads the caption of a Facebook post shared Nov. 27.
