Around one million individuals worldwide become infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, each year. To replicate and spread the infection, the virus must smuggle its genetic material into the ...

Humans aren’t the only targets for viruses. Like us, bacteria become infected by many types of viruses. In fact, across billions of years, bacteria and viruses have engaged in a non-stop evolutionary ...

A team of Yale researchers discovered how a protein called Ndc1 coordinates nuclear pore and envelope assembly after cell division, an important component of understanding how cell nuclei change in ...

Paleontologists have isolated cartilage cells from an exceptionally well-preserved dinosaur fossil in China. The cells' nuclei still contain traces of biomolecules and other organic structures, and ...

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. The results may also ...
