TY - JOUR AU - Iborra, Francisco J. PY - 2007 DA - 2007/04/12 TI - Can visco-elastic phase separation, macromolecular crowding and colloidal physics explain nuclear organisation? JO - Theoretical Biology and Medical Modelling SP - 15 VL - 4 IS - 1 AB - The cell nucleus is highly compartmentalized with well-defined domains, it is not well understood how this nuclear order is maintained. Many scientists are fascinated by the different set of structures observed in the nucleus to attribute functions to them. In order to distinguish functional compartments from non-functional aggregates, I believe is important to investigate the biophysical nature of nuclear organisation.
