When it comes to neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and certain forms of dementia, ...

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 ...

When it comes to neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and certain forms of dementia, ...

Nuclear pore complexes are more dynamic than previously thought, reshaping our understanding of a vital transport process in cells. An international study led by the University of Basel (Switzerland) ...

Super-resolution microscopy has promoted the development of cell biology, but imaging proteins with low copy numbers in cellular structures remains challenging. The limited number of designated ...

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 ...

Proteins are most well-known for their intricate structures. The α-helices and β-sheets that form from interactions between sidechains create distinct shapes that, along with the specific amino acid ...
