In 2016, Science published the structure of the #NuclearPoreComplex—the sole gateway for macromolecules to enter or exit the nucleus.

A new special issue builds on that work, presenting the structure in unprecedented detail. fcld.ly/jfvwxfe (THREAD) 🧵 ImageImage
A composite structure of the cytoplasmic face of the human #NuclearPoreComplex provides a rich foundation for elucidating the molecular basis of #mRNA export and nucleoporin diseases, according to a new Science study. fcld.ly/3v012d9 Image
In a new Science study, researchers present a near-atomic composite structure of the human #NuclearPoreComplex’s ~64-megadalton symmetric core. The findings provide a basis for future functional studies. fcld.ly/wgoa4cj Image
Using #AI, researchers in Science have generated an exhaustive repertoire of human nucleoporin structures and fit each into an improved, higher-resolution #cyroEM tomography map of the #NuclearPoreComplex. fcld.ly/fafiho2 Image

The human body is home to a variety of microbiomes.

A new special issue of Science looks at our current understanding of these microbial communities, their effects on human health, and what remains to be discovered. fcld.ly/ny68b06 (THREAD) 🧵 #TheSystemicMicrobiome
Oral microbiota form distinct biofilms in different regions of the mouth that protect host tissues. When these biofilms become unbalanced, they may contribute to various diseases, including cancer and #Alzheimers.
