The cell nucleus is separated by a membrane of the cytoplasm. When the cell is divided, this membrane is removed and, after doubling the core material, two new membranes are formed, one for newly formed cells. Biochemists from Barcelona and Paris have investigated the process of creating a new membrane and have identified an important protein called MEL-28 that participates in this process. It is a protein that helps to completely close the membrane.
