Researchers created replicas of 3D cell structures inside Minecraft and made them available for anyone to use in their own installation of the game.

Proteins' amino-acid sequences appear to guide their access to blob-like aggregates involved in many cell processes ...

It's sometimes easy to forget that molecular biological research was somehow being done before nucleic acid hybridization was commonplace, even before the dawn of the Southern blot. This isn't to ...

The shape of the breast cancer cell is more elongated and pointier, and the nucleoli within the nucleus are much larger than in the healthy cells. "When a cancer cell becomes elongated ...

Most migrated to the nucleolus, as expected, but one protein steadfastly refused. Instead, it formed nuclear dots that were much smaller than the large and obvious nucleoli. I was really worried about ...

Centrosomes are nonmembrane organelles and responsible for microtubule nucleation and organization. Centrosomal RNAs have been identified in diverse model systems and are known to regulate gene ...

Alterations in the expression and activity of specific translation factors, and the uncoupling of translational regulation from inhibition by tumour cell stresses, such as hypoxia and nutrient ...

E1s and E2s first work generically across the cell to activate and prepare ubiquitin for attachment. E3 ligases then ensure that the tag is added to the right protein; as such, hundreds of specific ...

Glomus tumours are uncommon, benign neoplasms originating from the glomus body, predominantly affecting adults between 20–40 ...

The mononuclear cells had eccentric round nuclei and a basophilic cytoplasm, exhibiting features of plasmablastic or plasma cells. The nuclei had prominent nucleoli and manifested anisokaryosis and ...
