Proteins are the infinitely varied chemicals that make cells work, and science has a pretty good idea how they are made. But a critical aspect underlying the machinery of protein manufacture has long ...

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 ...

What can the shape of the nucleolus tell us about a cell’s response to drugs? Researchers use advanced microscopy techniques ...

This model of the nucleus with nucleolus (pink) shows how ribosomal DNA is correctly repaired in young cells. In old cells with enlarged nucleolus, however, DNA repair is inaccurate leading to faster ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? More than a decade of research shows that the nucleolus—the largest structure in the ...

Inside all living cells, loosely formed assemblies known as biomolecular condensates perform many critical functions. However, it is not well understood how proteins and other biomolecules come ...
