The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is an essential, highly dynamic macromolecular assembly embedded in the nuclear envelope that orchestrates the precise exchange of proteins, RNA and other macromolecules ...

Because viruses have to hijack someone else’s cell to replicate, they’ve gotten very good at it—inventing all sorts of tricks. A new study from two University of Chicago scientists has revealed how ...

A model of transport through the nuclear pore complex. The blue spheres represent macromolecules that do not interact with the selectively permeable barrier of the complex, while the red spheres ...

Researchers at Kanazawa University report in Cell Reports how alterations in the nuclear pores lead to the degradation of anti-tumor proteins. Several types of cancer are believed to be linked to ...
