• Resumen

  • The article discusses the cell nucleus and the visualization technologies that are enabling scientists to examine the architecture of the nucleus in real time, such as the structure of nuclear components including chromosomes, RNA, and protein complexes. Topics include why studying a cell's nuclear structure has been historically difficult, an overview of how chromosomes position themselves, and the dramatic ways in which changes to the nuclear structure can affect cellular function.
