The nuclear pore complexes on the nuclear membrane serve as the exclusive gateway for communication between the nucleus and the cytoplasm, regulating the transport of various molecules, including ...

In situ model of the nuclear pore complex transport barrier: Tethered within the pore are highly dynamic protein threads termed FG Nups (green). Under physiological conditions, cargo-carrying ...

Recent studies of nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) have provided detailed descriptions of the core scaffold structures, yet fall short in resolving the dynamic FG meshwork with similar precision. Here, ...

Nuclear pore complexes are more dynamic than previously thought, reshaping our understanding of a vital transport process in cells. An international study led by the University of Basel (Switzerland) ...

Osaka, Japan – Ion channels are narrow passageways that play a pivotal role in many biological processes. To model how ions move through these tight spaces, pores need to be fabricated at very small ...
