Structure and function of the nucleolus in the spotlight.
The nucleolus is the most obvious and clearly differentiated nuclear sub-compartment. It is where ribosome biogenesis takes place, but it is becoming clear that the nucleolus also has non-ribosomal functions. In this review we discuss recent progress in our understanding of how both ribosome biosynthesis and some non-ribosomal functions relate to observable nucleolar structure. We still do not ...

When cells are observed by phase contrast microscopy, nucleoli are among the most conspicuous structures. The nucleolus was formally described between 1835 and 1839, but it was another century before it was discovered to be associated with a specific chromosomal locus, thus defining it as a cytogenetic entity. Nucleoli were first isolated in the 1950s, from starfish oocytes. Then, in the early ...

Are they always about? Not necessarily. They come and go, disappearing in mitosis from late prophase until telophase. During this period, some nucleolar antigens, including RNA polymerase I and topoisomerase I, remain associated with tandemly repeated clusters of ribosomal RNA genes on the condensed chromatin — these chromosomal regions are presumptuously known as nucleolar organising regions (...

weather and an increase in rare extreme events will have a negative effect on coffee production and the millions of farmers and their families which depend on the crop for their livelihoods. Most of these smallholder farmers live on the edge of viable existence, and any unpredictable change in circumstances can push them into poverty. " In a separate effort supported by Earthwatch, the Institut...

What the physicians there didn’t know was this woman had a...
