[NDT Membership Roster] [NDT Meeting Rosters]
The Nuclear Dynamics and Transport [NDT] Study Section reviews applications primarily concerned with nuclear aspects of mitosis, cell cycle control, cell proliferation, nuclear architecture and trafficking into and out of the nucleus. Signaling pathways that converge on the nucleus are also considered. These fields are investigated using cell biology, molecular, genetic, biochemical, or computational approaches. Specific areas covered by NDT:
- Chromosome movement, spindle structure and dynamics, and role of cytokinesis in mitosis
- Proliferation and growth control by the nucleus
- Cell cycle regulation and checkpoint controls
- Nuclear matrix components
- Microtubules, filaments, motors and cargoes
- Nuclear envelope and transport processes
- Signaling pathways that target the nucleus
- Telomere structure, function and regulation
