The dynamics of nucleolus-centromeres interaction in living cells

Wei-Hong Yeo, Emma Freeman, Alexander B. Willis…·Sui Huang

This study examines the dynamic interactions between nucleoli and centromeres in living cells, showing that centromeres move and associate with nucleoli during interphase, with these interactions dependent on rDNA transcription and nucleolar integrity.
