In evolutionary biology, all life on Earth is theoretically part of a single phylogenetic tree, indicating common ancestry.

Cancer cells with a cell nucleus that is easily deformed are more sensitive to drugs that damage DNA. These are the findings of a new study by researchers at Linköping University in Sweden. The ...

In work conducted at both UC Santa Barbara and the Physics of Life Excellence Cluster of TU Dresden, biophysicist Otger Campàs and his research group have found that cell nuclei control the ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the 'pacemaker' controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the pacemaker ...

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 ...

Because viruses have to hijack someone else’s cell to replicate, they’ve gotten very good at it—inventing all sorts of tricks. A new study from two University of Chicago scientists has revealed how ...

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nucleus Biologics, a leading provider of cell culture and bioprocessing solutions for the cell and gene therapy (CGT) industry, has launched NB-KUL DF, a DMSO-free, ...

Back 2.8 billion years ago, while Earth shifted its plates to make new continents and violent volcanoes produced new crust, life crafted a novel invention of its own. 1,2 At first, the nucleus was ...
