Within a cell, the nucleus is surrounded by the nuclear envelope—two layers of phospholipid membrane that prevents the nucleus mixing with other parts of the cell, thus protecting the cell's DNA from ...

A new study published in the journal Developmental Cell has revealed how a cell nucleus can repair itself when ruptured to prevent DNA spilling out into the rest of the cell. A cell's nucleus has a ...

Expansion microscopy reveals the structure of huntingtin aggregates inside the cell nucleus. Huntington’s disease is a devastating neurogenerative disorder caused by a mutation in the HTT gene that ...

Scientists at the Utrecht University in the Netherlands say they have identified a new way in which the toxic protein aggregates associated with Huntington’s disease may damage nerve cells and cause ...
