Question:

Are Nuclear Matrix and Nuclear Scaffold the same thing?

Are the terms quot;nuclear matrixquot; and quot;nuclear scaffoldquot; interchangeable? I know that when we talk about DNA compaction we say that MARs on the DNA attach to the nuclear scaffold. I am wondering if the scaffold is just a specific part of the matrix??

Answer:

For most purposes, they are interchangeable terms for the same things. Some people favor one term, some the other. The ones who favor matrix over scaffold or vice versa may have some argument as to why it is better or a difference but in general people use them interchangeably.
