| Abstract: | The nonchromatin proteinous residue of the cell nucleus was revealed in our laboratory as early aJs in 1948and then identified by light and electron microscoPy as residual nucleoli. intranuclear network and nuclear envelope before 1960. This structure termed afterwards as "nuclear residue", "nuclear skeleton", "nuclear cage" 3 "nuclearcarcass" etc., was much later (in 1974) isolated, studied,and entitled as "nuclear matrix" by Berezney and Coffey,to whom the discovery of this residual structure is of ten wronly ascribed. The real history of nuclear matrix manifestation is reported in this paper. |
