Peering into the Cell Nucleus
| Title: | Peering into the Cell Nucleus |
|---|---|
| Description: |
The human cell nucleus contains a large number of distinct compartments that contribute to a cell's function, such as the speckles that contain RNA-processing proteins (red), which lie next to chromosomes (blue). These speckles disassemble and reassemble during cell division (center cell). This image was originally submitted as part of the 2015 NCI Cancer Close Up project and selected for exhibit. |
