The nucleolus is the most prominent compartment in the nucleus and known as the site for ribosome biogenesis in eucaryotes. In contrast, there is no such equivalent structure for ribosome synthesis in ...

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 ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? More than a decade of research shows that the nucleolus—the largest structure in the ...

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 ...

Ageing researchers have long been searching for so-called biomarkers of ageing, which allow predictions about health and lifespan of organisms. Varnesh Tiku, a scientist in the department of Director ...

The nucleolus is a small organelle present in the nucleus of cells, which regulates physiologic processes such as growth and stress responses. Scientists from Cologne discovered that upon bacterial ...

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 ...

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 ...
