The genetic information of eukaryotic cells is enclosed within a double-layered nuclear
envelope, which comprises an inner and outer nuclear membrane. Several transmembrane …

During the early meiotic prophase, connections are established between chromosomes and
cytoplasmic motors via a nuclear envelope bridge, known as a LINC (linker of …

Meiosis is a key processes of sexual reproduction in eukaryotes. By combining two cell
division cycles with a single round of DNA replication meiosis provides a mechanism to …

Studies on the Caenorhabditis elegans nucleus have provided fascinating insight to the
organization and activities of eukaryotic cells. Being the organelle that holds the genetic …

The LINC complex is found in a wide variety of organisms and is formed by the transluminal
interaction between outer-and inner-nuclear-membrane KASH and SUN proteins …

PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) play significant roles in suppressing transposons,
maintaining genome integrity, and defending against viral infections. How piRNA source loci …

Understanding the structure and structure–function relationships of membrane proteins is a
fundamental problem in biomedical research. Given the difficulties inherent to performing …

During meiosis, homologous chromosomes undergo a dramatic movement in order to
correctly align. This is a critical meiotic event but the molecular properties of this …

The nucleolus has been studied for the past 200 years, leading it to be a well characterized
membraneless organelle. It is responsible for many cellular functions, notably ribosome …

LINC complex proteins connect the nucleoskeleton to the cytoskeleton, which is an
important link for processes such as maintaining epithelial cell polarization and …
