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) ...

Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are tiny but sophisticated gatekeepers that control the flow of materials between a cell’s nucleus and its cytoplasm by quickly selecting which molecules to transport ...

The international academic journal Science featured a complex, tangled structure of winding shapes on its cover for June 10. Rendered in various colors like yellow, white, and blue, this unidentified ...

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 ...

A model of transport through the nuclear pore complex. The blue spheres represent macromolecules that do not interact with the selectively permeable barrier of the complex, while the red spheres ...

In a recent landmark study, scientists have unveiled how HIV-1 penetrates the cell's nuclear barrier—a discovery that could reshape antiviral strategies. The research, led by Professor Peijun Zhang, ...

A study suggests overactive VCP may contribute to ALS nerve damage by disrupting nuclear pore proteins in genetic ALS.
