The nucleolus—a conspicuous but obscure organelle within the cell nucleus—is normally too compact to be studied in detail. Researchers at Case Western Reserve University just learned how to simplify ...

The size of a cell's nucleolus may reveal how long that cell, or even the organism it belongs to, will live. Over the past few years, researchers have been piecing together an unexpected link between ...

The secret to cellular youth may depend on keeping the nucleolus—a condensed structure inside the nucleus of a cell—small, according to Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. The findings were ...

Biologists discovered that a scaffolding protein called TCOF1 is responsible for the formation of a biomolecular condensate called the fibrillar center, which forms within the cell nucleolus. Inside ...

At most, 10 people in the world are known to have BPTA. Five of them participated in the current study, and they were found to share virtually the same mutation in the gene for the HMGB1 protein. It ...

Knowing when you’re going to die is a fact best left unexplored. But for better or for worse, scientists have discovered a part of human cells that is tightly linked to the aging process, and it may ...
