Abstract

The nucleus has been relatively neglected in studies of the pathogenesis of cellular damage, in spite of the importance of its role in cell metabolism, and in spite of the lesions, sometimes severe, detectable in nuclei by optical and electron microscopy (Bernhard & Granboulan, 1968). Recently, the nucleus has attracted a considerable amount of interest, due in part to the availability of methods for the isolation of nuclei and for the study of their metabolic properties.
