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 ...

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 ...

The size of a cell's nucleolus may reveal how long that cell, or even the organism it belongs to, will live. Over the past few years, researchers have been piecing together an unexpected link between ...

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 ...

Striking nucleolar lesions occur in cultured cells after exposure to supranormal temperatures. These lesions appear at 42°C and consist of a loss of the granular ribonucleoprotein (RNP) component and ...

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 ...

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 ...
