ME Professor Mohammad R. K. Mofrad and ME Grad Student Mohaddeseh Peyro Reveal New Clues to How the Gatekeeper for the Cell Nucleus Works

ME Professor Mohammad R. K. Mofrad and ME graduate student Mohaddeseh Peyro, along with two other researchers, have released their findings today in a paper titled “Evolutionarily Conserved Sequence Features Regulate the Formation of the FG Network at the Center of the Nuclear Pore Complex.” The paper uncovers “new clues to how a molecular machine inside the cell acts as a gatekeeper, allowing some molecules to enter and exit the nucleus while keeping other molecules out.”
