Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has observed an elliptical galaxy known as ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

Dust measurements of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS provide constraints on its nucleus size, indicating a minimum radius of 1 km for a natural comet, as reported by Avi Loeb.

Chromosomes occupy specific regions of a nucleus, called "chromosome territories." These subdomains might be doing much more than just keeping everything organized. Determining how chromosomes are ...

Nuclear physics is a forbidding subject, even for trained physicists. To understand current news and discussion about nuclear science and technology, some background knowledge is required. The high ...

Observations of 3I/ATLAS reveal that streaming gas in its anti-tail is limited to 5,000 km, with larger dust particles ...

Because viruses have to hijack someone else’s cell to replicate, they’ve gotten very good at it—inventing all sorts of tricks. A new study from two University of Chicago scientists has revealed how ...

Using a new CRISPR-based technique, researchers are examining how the position of DNA within the nucleus affects gene expression and cell function. The nucleus of a cell has something in common with a ...

As cells get older, they don’t lose their hair or teeth. Instead, they lose control over their nuclear membrane, the protective barrier that encases DNA in the nucleus, concludes a study published in ...

A new measurement of the strong nuclear force, which binds protons and neutrons together, confirms previous hints of an uncomfortable truth: We still don’t have a solid theoretical grasp of even the ...

Figure 1: The nucleus of SKHep1 cells contains a nucleoplasmic reticulum. To confirm the relationship of these structures to the ER, we examined the intracellular distribution of the ER protein ...
