What happens in a star's core?

There are many nuclear reactions taking place. Actually nuclear fission where the lighter hydrogen combine to form the heavier and inert helium. When the the hydrogen in the core runs out it will lose outward pressure. The star will thus contract which will increase the density of particules and that in turn will increase pressure to a point at which the star will go supernova. If th star is big enough then it may create a black hole when it explodes.
