Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to ...

Kanazawa University, have discovered how a protein called lamin A helps repair the protective barrier around a cell's DNA.

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

Using immunofluorescence and live-cell imaging, researchers were recently able to determine the mechanism underlying the repairing mechanism of the nuclear envelope, which play a key role in ...

Each cell contains well-defined compartments, each of which has a specific function. The nuclear envelope, for example, is a highly regulated membrane barrier that separates the nucleus from the ...

In a recent study published in Nature Cell Biology, a team of researchers discovered that the elevated expression of lamin-associated polypeptide 1 (LAP1), an inner nuclear membrane protein, helps ...

Researchers have discovered that the proteins within this coating - known as the nuclear envelope - vary greatly between cells in different organs of the body.

The cell nucleus is enclosed by a double lipid membrane that is called the nuclear envelope. All transports in and out of the nucleus take place through pores in the nuclear envelope.

Researchers at Utrecht University in the Netherlands have identified a new way in which the toxic protein aggregates associated with Huntington's disease may damage nerve cells and cause them to die.

Regulation of nuclear envelope budding involves interactions between proteins Pavarotti and Tumbleweed, and the WASH complex in Drosophila.
