Just as cities must carefully manage the flow of cars in and out of downtown, cells regulate the movement of molecules into and out of the nucleus. This microscopic metropolis relies on an intricate gateway—facilitated by nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) within the nuclear envelope—to control its molecular traffic.
