title: On the fusion of nucleoli in interphase.
abstract: By comparing unstimulated and phytohaemagglutinine (PHA)-stimulated human lymphocytes from peripheral blood it was found that the fusion of nucleoli in interphase is not merely a passive phenomenon but is strongly correlated to the metabolic activity of cells. The fusion is independent of the cell cycle (DNA-replication cycle).
