New imaging reveals the secrets of cellular traffic control

Summary Cells must precisely coordinate how molecules pass in and out of the nucleus, similar to how a city regulates traffic to prevent traffic jams and collisions. New research from Texas A&M University has shed light on how molecules are imported and exported across the nuclear envelope, through structures known as nuclear pore complexes. The EMBL Imaging Centre supported the study with an advanced imaging method called MINFLUX, allowing re…
