A Portal to the Cytoplasm

If you’re furiously copying chapters of DNA and attempting to make proteins, you need a quick and easy way to get the instructions out of the nucleus. This is where the nuclear pore comes into play. Messenger RNA is fed through these holes so that ribosomes may receive the code for how to assemble a protein. Without these portals, the nucleus becomes a black box of inaccessible information. Buy this nuclear pore necklace for yourself or give it as a gift. It’s perfect for cell biologists, geneticists, microbiologists, and starry-eyed pre-med students.
