Journal ArticleDOI

Accumulation of mutant lamin A causes progressive changes in nuclear architecture in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome.

TL;DR: It is shown by light and electron microscopy that HGPS is associated with significant changes in nuclear shape, including lobulation of the nuclear envelope, thickening of thenuclear lamina, loss of peripheral heterochromatin, and clustering of nuclear pores.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nuclear lamins: major factors in the structural organization and function of the nucleus and chromatin

TL;DR: An up-to-date overview of the functions of nuclear lamins is provided, emphasizing their roles in epigenetics, chromatin organization, DNA replication, transcription, and DNA repair.
Journal ArticleDOI

The nuclear lamina comes of age

TL;DR: These complexes provide new insights into cell architecture, as a foundation for the understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie the human laminopathies — clinical disorders that range from Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophy to the accelerated ageing seen in Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nuclear lamins: building blocks of nuclear architecture

TL;DR: Experimental and genetic evidence suggest that nuclear lamins are involved in a number of other functions including nuclear envelope assembly, DNA synthesis, transcription, and apoptosis, and speculate about possible mechanisms through which mutations in lamins give rise to disease.
