Cargo molecules are transported through nuclear pore complexes (NPCs ... a low electron density structure that fills electron micrographs of nuclear pores. Thus a sieve-like structure is formed ...

The authors suggest that the entry of the capsid into the nuclear pore complex generates a force that stretches the pore in its width until its ring-shaped structure cracks, similar to a nail that ...

“With the high-speed AFM we could, for the first time, peer inside native nuclear pore complexes only forty nanometers in size,” study coauthor Roderick Lim of the University of Basel said in a ...

A known membrane-remodeling complex earns a newly identified role as a quality-assurance director during the assembly of nuclear pores. Kerry served as The Scientist’s news director until 2021. Before ...

The authors' approach to structure determination consisted ... modelling to determine the architecture of the nuclear pore complex... In the second step, the experimental data were translated ...

Scientists demonstrate how T4 bacteriophages can calibrate super-resolution microscopes with nanometer accuracy, enabling ...

My lab currently has two main projects, one to dissect the role of tubulin's C-terminal tail in microtubule structure and functions. The second focuses on selective transport through the nuclear pore ...

By observing embryos injected with purified DNA, the research group verified that the injected DNA formed a nucleosome ...
