How a protein component of nuclear pore complexes regulates development of blood cells and may contribute to myeloid disorders
Sanford Burnham Prebys

Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are channels composed of multiple proteins that ferry molecules in and out of the nucleus, regulating many critical cellular functions, such as gene expression, chromatin organization and RNA processes that influence cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation.
