Within a cell, the nucleus is surrounded by the nuclear envelope—two layers of phospholipid membrane that prevents the nucleus mixing with other parts of the cell, thus protecting the cell's DNA from ...

A new study published in the journal Developmental Cell has revealed how a cell nucleus can repair itself when ruptured to prevent DNA spilling out into the rest of the cell. A cell's nucleus has a ...

Every time a cell divides, the protective envelope that surrounds the nucleus is broken down and rebuilt into two new ones. Envelopes are highly complex structures of membranes and proteins which must ...

A team of Yale researchers discovered how a protein called Ndc1 coordinates nuclear pore and envelope assembly after cell division, an important component of understanding how cell nuclei change in ...
