Coiled bodies (also known as "Cajal bodies") are structures found in the nucleus of certain cells.cite journal | author = Unger E, Buchwalow IB, Hartmann M, Kleschtschinow WM, Raikhlin NT | title = Ultrastructural demonstration of NAD-pyrophosphorylase activity in mouse liver nuclei | journal = Histochemistry | volume = 43 | issue = 1 | pages = 73–9 | year = 1975 | pmid = 166966 | doi = ] They are often seen attached to the
