Our cells produce a variety of proteins, each with a specific role that, in many cases, means that they need to be in a ...

Proteins need to come in and out of the nucleus, the control center of the cell, to give different functions, such as telling the nucleus to switch on or off certain genes.

A team led by scientists at Northwestern University has discovered how paraspeckles, a landmark (condensate) found in the ...

The production of D-2HG creates a bridge between mitochondrial dysfunction and the mechanics of the cell nucleus, an unexpected form of cross-talk that changes how we think about adaptation in ...

According to new research, T cells have a nuclear receptor doing something very odd—but very important—to help them fight pathogens and destroy cancer cells. This receptor, called retinoic ...

The hippocampus is an important brain region known to support various cognitive (i.e., mental) processes, including the encoding and retrieval of memories, learning, decision-making and the regulation ...

T-bet is a transcription factor, one of the control proteins in the cell nucleus that can turn specific groups of genes on and off. Cohorts of different transcription factors orchestrate diverse sets ...
