Besides building a cell's protein factories, this specialized subunit, or the nucleolus, serves more broadly as a control center for cellular growth and health. Only recently has the nucleolus gotten ...

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 ...

IPA, a non-coding RNA from the CUL1 gene that stabilizes the nucleolus and supports ribosome production. Removing it ...

Research at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland) reveals that autonomous parvoviruses, such as canine parvovirus, are highly capable of affecting the internal balance of the nucleolus. The results ...

Keeping nucleoli small prevents DNA instability and cellular aging, akin to anti-aging effects like calorie restriction Nucleolar expansion marks a tipping point in aging, acting as a "mortality meter ...

New research has advanced understanding of how the nucleolus is assembled through a process called liquid-liquid phase separation and has identified a protein that plays key role Researchers have ...

Although known since the 1830s as a round, dark spot in a cell's nucleus, only recently has the nucleolus gotten its full due. Scientists have learned that besides building a cell's protein factories, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Chinese scientists have made a fundamental breakthrough in the understanding of the nucleolus, a structure with important functions in the nucleus. Their findings may also pave the way for diagnoses ...
