What is the
Cell Nucleus Web Ring?


The Cell Nucleus WebRing was originally set up to provide links between laboratories whose research focuses on the mammalian cell nucleus, allowing visitors to navigate more easily between their websites.

The sites listed below cover various aspects of nuclear structure and function, and as such are a valuable source of information for both novices to the field and more experienced researchers.

Also listed are commercial sites which offer products useful for nuclear research.

CellNucleus.com Major portal for the field of nuclear organization and higher-order chromatin structure, containing teaching materials for lectures, study materials for students, and advanced research material for professionals.
Euchromatin Network Designed to help researchers and others interested in the latest developments in their studies of this most active part of the genome within the cell nucleus.
Cardoso Lab Homepage of Molecular and Cell Biology of the (Epi)genome Group at the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine, Berlin, Germany
Hozak Lab Concentrate on a multi-disciplinary approach which allows them to study nuclear activities in relation to the higher-order nuclear structures, e.g. to the nucleoskeleton.

Ed Hurt's Homepage Focus on nuclear pore complexes (NPCs), which mediate the entire molecular and macromolecular traffic between the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
LamondLab.com The Lamond lab studies the organization of the mammalian cell nucleus, using combined approaches of microscopy, biochemistry and proteomics.
The Lawrence Lab The Lawrence lab studies nuclear structure and human genome organization and function, in both normal cells and in specific human genetic diseases. A major focus is the localization and functional organization of specific genes and their cognate mRNAs within the mammalian nucleus. The lab also researches the relationship of XIST RNA to inactivation of the mammalian X-chromosome.
Misteli Lab Home page of the Cell Biology of Gene Expression Group at the National Cancer Institute, NIH, Bethesda, MD. The goal of their research is to uncover how genes are expressed in living cells.
Nuclear Protein Database The Nuclear Protein Database (NPD) is a searchable database of information on proteins that are localised to the nucleus of vertebrate cells.
Nuclear Structure and Function Research Group Peter Cook's group at the University of Oxford
Terns Lab The Terns lab at the University of Georgia is studying the metabolism, transport, and function of cellular RNAs, and applying our knowledge to the design of RNA-based gene therapy agents.
Ullman Lab Two main goals of the lab (at the Huntsman Cancer Institute, Univ. of Utah) are:
1. to understand molecular mechanisms that guide nucleocytoplasmic transport
2. to decipher the process by which the nuclear pore and the nuclear envelope itself are disassembled in a regulated manner at mitosis.
Worman Lab Home Page of the Worman Lab in the Departments of Medicine and of Anatomy and Cell Biology, Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons New York, New York. The site provides some information about their work and their more recent publications.
