The cell nucleus goes a long way during an immune response, both literally and figuratively. New research published in Science Immunology shows that in some white blood cells, this genetic storage ...

In tissue biopsies, cancer cells are frequently observed to have nuclei (the cell's genetic information storage) that are larger than normal. Until now, this was considered a sign that the cancer was ...
