Talk:Cajal body

Merger Proposal
Support Both this page and Coiled bodies are talking about the same structure.D-rew (talk) 19:09, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Support, concur with D-rew. aciel (talk) 19:51, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Support, there is definitely no difference between the two. Sojuli (talk) 12:10, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support. Is the merger from Coiled bodies to Cajal bodies or the other way around?--Chibibrain (talk) 21:34, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Support. Personally I would prefer merging it to Cajal body as it sounds more specific to me, and that's what my cell biology textbook (The Cell, 4/e, G. M. Cooper, R. E. Hausman) refers them to. However a Google search returns somewhat more hits for "coiled body" (is this term used more frequently than the other in fields such as medicine?), so whichever would be fine with me...

Merged from Coiled bodies to Cajal body. Reason: Scientific community renamed coiled bodies to Cajal bodies after their discoverer Santiago Ramón y Cajal. --Mashin6 (talk) 23:44, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Size - Ref?
2 micrometers is huge, considering a nucleus is usually 5-10 microns in diameter. any source with a microscopic picture proving that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.229.14.205 (talk) 08:25, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Generally accepted is that in somatic cells Cajal bodies are 0.5-1 µm in diameter, but in oocytes (e.g. Xenopus) which have big nuclei, Cajal bodies can be up to 5 µm in diameter. Check for example --Mashin6 (talk) 10:06, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
