The nuclear envelope is a regulated membrane barrier that separates the nucleus from the cytosol in eukaryotes. Although the NE is often depicted as a static barrier, new research has identified ...

Traditionally, mitosis is considered to start when the condensing chromosomes first become visible within the prophase nucleus. The subsequent breakdown of the nuclear envelope terminates prophase ...

When DNA inside the nucleus of a human cell is damaged, a specific network of microtubule filaments forms in the cytoplasm ...

For retroviral nucleic acids to access the host cell nucleus, they must traverse both the plasma membrane and nuclear membrane. For HIV, the viral envelope promotes fusion of the viral membrane ...

The researchers found that many of the nerve cells had breaks in the membrane that separates the nucleus from the rest of the cell. This barrier, known as the nuclear envelope, protects and ...

Eukaryotic cells store their DNA in the nucleus, cordoned off from the cytoplasm by the nuclear envelope. Made up of two lipid bilayers called the inner and outer nuclear membrane, the nuclear ...
