"I was excited that we could connect the structure of the nucleolus with the repair process in a way that could be conserved from yeast to humans," said Dr. Gutierrez. More information: J. Ignacio ...

It was expected that by analysing the characteristics of chromosome and nucleolus behaviour, abnormalities specific to the internal organization of tumour cells might be detected. The present ...

A striking feature of aging across species is the enlargement of the nucleolus, a change in the cellular structure due to ribosomal deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) instability. In a recent study ...
