Inside all living cells, loosely formed assemblies known as biomolecular condensates perform many critical functions. However, it is not well understood how proteins and other biomolecules come ...

If it was possible to know how long someone is destined to live, would it be possible to resist taking a peek at it? A review published this year in Cell Biology tempted us with that information. The ...

Striking nucleolar lesions occur in cultured cells after exposure to supranormal temperatures. These lesions appear at 42°C and consist of a loss of the granular ribonucleoprotein (RNP) component and ...

Inside the nucleus, seen here as a purple sphere, is a smaller purple sphere, the nucleolus, which is the most prominent membraneless organelle in our cells. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...

IT is true, as Miss Melland states, that the nucleolus as it grows can interfere mechanically with the structure of a chromosome. It can, for example, stretch the filament which connects the satellite ...

Scientists reveal the homolog of a well-known human protein, Nucleolin, in the tiny, transparent roundworm, C. elegans. Nucleolin is linked to human neurodegenerative disease and cancer. The new ...
