Cargo molecules are transported through nuclear pore complexes (NPCs). Small molecules can pass by diffusion, but there is a permeability barrier for larger molecules, with a relative molecular ...

The nuclear pore is a protein-lined channel in the nuclear envelope that regulates the transportation of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. In eukaryotic cells, the nucleus is ...

This microscopic metropolis relies on an intricate gateway - facilitated by nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) within the nuclear envelope - to control its molecular traffic. New research from the ...
