Angstrom

The angstrom is a unit of length equal to m; that is, one ten-billionth of a metre, a hundred-millionth of a centimetre, 0.1 nanometre, or 100 picometres.

See Cajal body and Angstrom

Blastomere

In biology, a blastomere is a type of cell produced by cell division (cleavage) of the zygote after fertilization; blastomeres are an essential part of blastula formation, and blastocyst formation in mammals.

See Cajal body and Blastomere

Cell (biology)

The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all forms of life. Cajal body and cell (biology) are cell anatomy.

See Cajal body and Cell (biology)

Cell nucleus

The cell nucleus (nuclei) is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells. Cajal body and cell nucleus are cell anatomy and organelles.

See Cajal body and Cell nucleus

Coilin

Coilin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COIL gene.

See Cajal body and Coilin

Electron microscope

An electron microscope is a microscope that uses a beam of electrons as a source of illumination.

See Cajal body and Electron microscope

Histone

In biology, histones are highly basic proteins abundant in lysine and arginine residues that are found in eukaryotic cell nuclei and in most Archaeal phyla.

See Cajal body and Histone

Micrometre

The micrometre (Commonwealth English) as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; SI symbol: μm) or micrometer (American English), also commonly known by the non-SI term micron, is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equalling (SI standard prefix "micro-".

See Cajal body and Micrometre

Molecular cloning

Molecular cloning is a set of experimental methods in molecular biology that are used to assemble recombinant DNA molecules and to direct their replication within host organisms.

See Cajal body and Molecular cloning

Neoplasm

A neoplasm is a type of abnormal and excessive growth of tissue.

See Cajal body and Neoplasm

Neuron

A neuron, neurone, or nerve cell is an excitable cell that fires electric signals called action potentials across a neural network in the nervous system.

See Cajal body and Neuron

Nuclear bodies

Nuclear bodies (also known as nuclear domains, or nuclear dots) are membraneless structures found in the cell nuclei of eukaryotic cells. Cajal body and nuclear bodies are cell nucleus and nuclear substructures.

See Cajal body and Nuclear bodies

Nucleolus

The nucleolus (nucleoli) is the largest structure in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Cajal body and nucleolus are nuclear substructures and organelles.

See Cajal body and Nucleolus

Nucleoprotein

Nucleoproteins are proteins conjugated with nucleic acids (either DNA or RNA).

See Cajal body and Nucleoprotein

Nucleotide

Nucleotides are organic molecules composed of a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar and a phosphate.

See Cajal body and Nucleotide

Organelle

In cell biology, an organelle is a specialized subunit, usually within a cell, that has a specific function. Cajal body and organelle are cell anatomy and organelles.

See Cajal body and Organelle

Protease

A protease (also called a peptidase, proteinase, or proteolytic enzyme) is an enzyme that catalyzes proteolysis, breaking down proteins into smaller polypeptides or single amino acids, and spurring the formation of new protein products.

See Cajal body and Protease

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

See Cajal body and Protein

Ribonuclease

Ribonuclease (commonly abbreviated RNase) is a type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components.

See Cajal body and Ribonuclease

RNA

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a polymeric molecule that is essential for most biological functions, either by performing the function itself (non-coding RNA) or by forming a template for the production of proteins (messenger RNA).

See Cajal body and RNA

RNA splicing

RNA splicing is a process in molecular biology where a newly-made precursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) transcript is transformed into a mature messenger RNA (mRNA).

See Cajal body and RNA splicing

Santiago Ramón y Cajal

Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1 May 1852 – 17 October 1934) was a Spanish neuroscientist, pathologist, and histologist specializing in neuroanatomy and the central nervous system.

See Cajal body and Santiago Ramón y Cajal

Small Cajal body-specific RNA

Small Cajal body-specific RNAs (scaRNAs) are a class of small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) that specifically localise to the Cajal body, a nuclear organelle (cellular sub-organelle) involved in the biogenesis of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs or snurps).

See Cajal body and Small Cajal body-specific RNA

SnRNP

snRNPs (pronounced "snurps"), or small nuclear ribonucleoproteins, are RNA-protein complexes that combine with unmodified pre-mRNA and various other proteins to form a spliceosome, a large RNA-protein molecular complex upon which splicing of pre-mRNA occurs.

See Cajal body and SnRNP

Telomerase

Telomerase, also called terminal transferase, is a ribonucleoprotein that adds a species-dependent telomere repeat sequence to the 3' end of telomeres.

See Cajal body and Telomerase

Telomerase RNA component

| Name.

See Cajal body and Telomerase RNA component

Telomere

A telomere is a region of repetitive nucleotide sequences associated with specialized proteins at the ends of linear chromosomes (see Sequences). Cajal body and telomere are telomeres.

See Cajal body and Telomere

Transcription (biology)

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.

See Cajal body and Transcription (biology)

Translation (biology)

In biology, translation is the process in living cells in which proteins are produced using RNA molecules as templates.
