06 Nucleus, Cell Core

Join BioSpeak for an in-depth look at the nucleus, the "control center" of eukaryotic cells, where DNA is stored and cellular processes are directed. Discover the structure of the nuclear envelope, its protective role, and how nuclear pores control transport between the cell and the nucleus. We also discuss the nucleoplasm, which contains chromatin, and the nucleolus, where ribosome assembly begins. Learn about the nucleus’s vital functions, including gene expression, DNA replication, and how specialized cells like red blood cells adapt without a nucleus. Tune in to uncover the essential components and roles of the nucleus in cellular life.
