The nucleolus is a specialized structure within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells responsible for ribosome biogenesis. It synthesizes ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and assembles it with proteins to form ribosomal subunits. These subunits are then transported to the cytoplasm, where they combine to create functional ribosomes essential for protein synthesis. Additionally, the nucleolus plays a role in regulating cellular stress responses and the cell cycle.
