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 ...
Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland), in cooperation with national and international research groups, have ...
In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

Herpes virus infection softens cell nuclei through internal mechanical changes
A recent international research project has used advanced microscopy techniques and computational modeling to discover why ...
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 ...
Gene therapy holds the promise of preventing and curing disease by manipulating gene expression within a patient's cells.
Cancer cells are subjected to high mechanical pressure that leads to a rupture of the nuclear envelope when migrating through narrow tissue structures, as in the case of metastasis. DNA would normally ...
