The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is an essential, highly dynamic macromolecular assembly embedded in the nuclear envelope that orchestrates the precise exchange of proteins, RNA and other macromolecules ...
In situ model of the nuclear pore complex transport barrier: Tethered within the pore are highly dynamic protein threads termed FG Nups (green). Under physiological conditions, cargo-carrying ...
An international team of researchers has created the most detailed model yet of how cells regulate traffic through the nuclear pore complex—the gateway between a cell’s nucleus and its cytoplasm. The ...
Nuclear pore complexes are more dynamic than previously thought, reshaping our understanding of a vital transport process in cells. An international study led by the University of Basel (Switzerland) ...
If the cell nucleus is like a bank for DNA, nuclear pores are the security doors around its perimeter. Yet more security doors aren't necessarily better: some cancer cells contain a dramatic excess of ...
When it comes to neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and certain forms of dementia, ...
When it comes to neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and certain forms of dementia, researchers have known that ...
Proteins are most well-known for their intricate structures. The α-helices and β-sheets that form from interactions between sidechains create distinct shapes that, along with the specific amino acid ...
