In situ model of the nuclear pore complex transport barrier: Tethered within the pore are highly dynamic protein threads termed FG Nups (green). Under physiological conditions, cargo-carrying ...

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 ...

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) ...

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

If the cell nucleus is like a bank for DNA, nuclear pores are the security doors around its perimeter. Yet more security doors aren't necessarily better: some cancer cells contain a dramatic excess of ...
