DOI: 10.1016/j.chembiol.2018.09.003
Abstract: Nuclear pores are nanomachines acting as gatekeepers of molecular transport across nuclear membranes. In a recent issue of Cell, Rodriguez-Bravo et al. (2018) demonstrates that nuclear pores promote aggressive prostate cancer by snowballing POM121-importin β-driven nuclear import.… read more here.
