• Background Higher plants are, like animals, organisms in which successful completion of the cell cycle requires the breakdown and reformation of the nuclear envelope in a highly controlled manner.

Naturally occurring mutations within the LMNA gene, which encodes nuclear lamin, have been identified in patients with three rare and apparently unrelated diseases. Understanding how these mutations ...

All living cells harbor nuclei—key biological structures that play an important role in information storage, retrieval, and duplication of genetic information. In mammals, these nuclei possess the ...

Picture the scene. You’re driving along the I-5 and a large convoy with flashing yellow lights and a big banner labeled ‘Oversized-Load’ trundles along past you ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The nuclear envelope is composed of membranes, nuclear pores, and a nuclear lamina. Using a cell-free nuclear assembly extract derived from ...

All living cells harbor nuclei - key biological structures that play an important role in information storage, retrieval, and duplication of genetic information. In mammals, these nuclei possess the ...

Selective transport through the nuclear pore complex presents a very complicated case—a lot of ins, a lot of outs, a lot of what-have-yous. To have any hope of unraveling the case, scientists based at ...

“What used to be a cell with components, the reality of which was often a matter of dispute and functions as a rule unknown is now a system of great organizational sophistication with units for the ...

A team of biologists at New York University's Center for Comparative Functional Genomics has uncovered a dual role for the gene mel-28. The gene plays a part in ensuring that chromosomes are divided ...
