Cancer cells are subjected to high mechanical pressure that leads to a rupture of the nuclear envelope when migrating through narrow tissue structures, as in the case of metastasis. DNA would normally ...

Just as life pulsates in big vibrant cities, it also prospers in crowded environments inside cells. The interior of cells is densely packed with biomolecules like proteins and nucleic acids. How is ...

Most current approaches rely on adding nuclear localization signal (NLS) motifs to the ends of Cas9 to facilitate nuclear entry. However, this method is inefficient, and much of the Cas9 that is ...

Challenging a long-standing assumption regarding the adult brain, recent research has demonstrated that individuals can ...

Bone implants often fail to fully integrate with surrounding tissue, limiting their effectiveness in regeneration. A natural but often overlooked cellular process could hold the key to better outcomes ...

Plankton are the invisible engines of life on Earth, producing much of the planet's oxygen and forming the foundation of the oceanic food chain.

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have developed a remarkable new way for making human body cells ...

Researchers at OHSU have demonstrated a new technique to treat infertility by turning skin cells into oocytes, or eggs. Shown here, an image of an oocyte with a bright image of a skin cell nucleus ...
