Recent discovery of the role of nuclear pores in transcription, predicted by our early DNA-membrane complex (DMC) model, makes membrane-bound DNA (MBD) isolation from the cell nucleus and analysis of the MBD actual. The method of MBD isolation proposed by us retains DMC integrity during isolation. We used HeLa cells for DMC extraction. Changing the ionic composition of the isolation medium and replacing DNase I, used commonly for chromatin destruction, with a set of restriction enzymes allowed us to isolate the MBD. Treatment of a nuclear membrane with proteinase K and ultrasound has been used to increase the yield of MBD. Electron microscopic analysis of the purified fraction of isolated DMC supports our previous model of nuclear envelope lipid-chromatin interaction in the nuclear pore assembly.

(Lepidoptera: Nolidae) is a major pest of cotton and other crops in Egypt, and the widespread use of insecticides has led to resistance. This study evaluates, for the first time, the bioactivity of (Malpighiales: Euphorbiaceae) oil and its nano-emulsion (CTNE) against 25 newly hatched larvae of Boisd. We assessed their biological effects across different developmental stages and performed histological and ultrastructural examinations.

The aim of the present research is the isolation and morphological and molecular-phenological identification of nematophagous fungi of Southern Kazakhstan for the production of effective bionematicides on their basis. Nematophagous fungi, which include nematode-trapping, ovicidal, endoparasitic, toxin-producing, and special substance-producing fungi, are among the most effective biological agents in controlling phytoparasitic nematodes. To isolate and characterize nematophagous fungi, soil samples were collected at 12 sites in three regions of Southern Kazakhstan.

Lipids play an essential role in synaptic function, significantly impacting synaptic physiology through their dynamic nature and signaling capabilities. Membrane lipids, including cholesterol, phospholipids, and gangliosides, are crucial for synaptic organization and function. They act as structural integrators and signaling molecules, guiding vesicle intracellular movement and regulating enzyme activity to support neuronal activity.

The nuclear pore complex, a large multimeric structure consists of numerous protein components, serves as a crucial gatekeeper for the transport of macromolecules across the nuclear envelope in eukaryotic cells. Dysfunction of the NPC has been implicated in various neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. In AD, Tau aggregates interact with NPC proteins, known as nucleoporins, leading to disruptions in nuclear transport.

The nuclear envelope has for long been considered more than just the physical border between the nucleoplasm and the cytoplasm, emerging as a crucial player in genome organisation and regulation within the 3D nucleus. Consequently, its study has become a valuable topic in the research of cancer, ageing and several other diseases where chromatin organisation is compromised. In this chapter, we will delve into its several sub-elements, such as the nuclear lamina, nuclear pore complexes and nuclear envelope proteins, and their diverse roles in nuclear function and maintenance.
