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 ...

Researchers have determined that the protein nucleophosmin (NPM1) serves as glue that holds proteins and RNA together in the nucleolus and showed how NPM1's structure makes it ideal for the job. St.

An essential component of living cells, the nucleolus underwent a major evolutionary shift around 300m years ago. Scientists have solved an age-old mystery in biology by discovering a protein found in ...

Besides building a cell's protein factories, this specialized subunit, or the nucleolus, serves more broadly as a control center for cellular growth and health. Only recently has the nucleolus gotten ...

Although known since the 1830s as a round, dark spot in a cell's nucleus, only recently has the nucleolus gotten its full due. Scientists have learned that besides building a cell's protein factories, ...

Ribosomes carry out the cell’s most essential function—translating genetic information into proteins. But even though scientists understand much about how these protein generators are formed, their ...

Biologists discovered that a scaffolding protein called TCOF1 is responsible for the formation of a biomolecular condensate called the fibrillar center, which forms within the cell nucleolus. Inside ...

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 ...
