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 ...

In a study in Nature last week (March 15), researchers report that they have created a 3-D model of the nuclear pore complex in Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells. The architecture of the gateway, ...

Even those early images of the nuclear pore “are so dramatic,” Milligan says. “Everyone is drawn to them. They’re like little flowers.” Images produced by Milligan and others over the next decade ...

Study finds that protein creation and disposal systems control the amount of nuclear pore complexes in cells, which may lead to new insights about cancer and neurodegeneration. The nuclei in our cells ...
