🧪A study led by the @unibas.ch found that nuclear pore complexes are not rigid structures but have dynamic, constantly moving interiors. This changes how we understand cellular transport and may influence research on diseases and therapies. @biozentrum.unibas.ch nanoscience.unibas.ch/en/news/deta...
