During the last decade there have been enormous steps forward in our understanding of the molecular gas properties of other galaxies, due to the huge increase in sensitivity and spatial resolution of instruments in the millimeter and submillimeter wavelength ranges. In particular, the emphasis has shifted from trying to detect CO in a variety of objects to studying the gas distributions and kinematics in a variety of species and transitions. For nearby galaxies, we are now able to study the physical and chemical processes occurring in the molecular gas over GMC size scales. Here I discuss a few examples of progress made in the study of galaxy nuclei.
