"On the move"ments of nuclear components in living cells

Exp Cell Res. 2004 May 15;296(1):4-11. doi: 10.1016/j.yexcr.2004.03.018.

Abstract

The use of GFP fusion proteins has dramatically changed our view of how the cell nucleus is organized and how functions are carried out. In this review we focus on recent advances related to the dynamics of chromatin domains, as well as the dynamics of nuclear proteins and several nuclear organelles.
