A study explores how nuclear pore complexes are disrupted in Alzheimer’s disease.

The structure has a stress-resilient architecture reminiscent of suspension bridges.

Physical forces propagate from the outside of cells inward and vice versa.

In 1992, advancements in microscopy zoomed in on the precise architecture of the complex, including unforeseen structural repetition in two halves of the ring.

Solving a long-standing structural puzzle will open the door to understanding one of the cell’s most enigmatic machines.

See an animation that illustrates emerging insights into the inner ring structures of the nuclear pore complex.

Scientists visualize nuclear pore complexes for the first time, using high-speed atomic force microscopy.

A known membrane-remodeling complex earns a newly identified role as a quality-assurance director during the assembly of nuclear pores.

Large RNA-protein packets use a novel mechanism to escape the cell nucleus.
