Nuclear Visions Functional Flexibility from Structural Instability

FRAP (Pederson, 2001 [this issue of Cell]). While it is easy to see dynamics of large structures like the nuclear envelope and classical nuclear organelles such as the nucleolus, what is remarkable about current FRAP meth-odologies is that they enable the dynamics of even the The Living Nucleus at San Antonio The potential instability of nuclear architecture during 7703 Floyd Curl Drive the cel...

Nuclear visions enhanced: chromatin structure, organization and dynamics.

The EMBO Workshop on 'Chromatin Structure, Organization and Dynamics' took place in April 2011 in Prague, Czech Republic. Scientists from the life sciences, chemistry and biophysics presented their latest data on the generation of three-dimensional and, eventually, four-dimensional models of the genome, working to correlate changes in the organization of chromatin with the functional state of t...

Tunnel visions

What advice would you give to someone who is considering a career in science? It is important not to shy away from addressing big questions.
