Small packages The nucleus holds the cell's chromosomes and the nucleolus where the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) is housed. The nucleolus isolates the rDNA which encodes the RNA portions of the ribosomes ...

When the researchers experimentally inhibited the function of NKX1-2 in mice, they found the nucleolus (a part of the nucleus that assembles ribosomes) was severely altered, disrupting the embryo ...

As an outgrowth of former studies of transport along the secretory path, mitochondrial inheritance, the causes of aneuploidy and export from the nucleus, we are presently investigating the functional ...
