TLDR
The nuclear envelope is shown to be a dynamic and highly adaptable boundary that changes composition during differentiation, deforms in response to mechanical challenges, can be repaired upon rupture and even rapidly disassembles and reforms during open mitosis.
Abstract
As a compartment border, the nuclear envelope (NE) needs to serve as both a protective membrane shell for the genome and a versatile communication interface between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Despite its important structural role in sheltering the genome, the NE is a dynamic and highly adaptable boundary that changes composition during differentiation, deforms in response to mechanical challenges, can be repaired upon rupture and even rapidly disassembles and reforms during open mitosis. NE remodelling is fundamentally involved in cell growth, division and differentiation, and if perturbed can lead to devastating diseases such as muscular dystrophies or premature ageing.

LINCking the Nuclear Envelope to Sperm Architecture.

TL;DR: The LINC (linker of nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton) complex as mentioned in this paper is a nuclear envelope-bridge structure involved in the connection of the nucleos skeleton to the cytos skeleton, governing mechanotransduction, and is involved in several functions fundamental to the correct development of sperm cells such as head formation and head to tail connection.

Nuclear Envelope Alterations in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 Patient-Derived Fibroblasts

TL;DR: Evidence is reinforced that NE dysfunction is a highly relevant pathological characteristic observed in DM1 by demonstrating that DM1 patient-derived fibroblasts exhibited altered intracellular protein levels and subcellular distribution of relevant NE proteins in these cell lines.

Dynein Pulling Forces On Ruptured Nuclei Counteract Lamin-Mediated Nuclear Envelope Repair Mechanisms In Vivo

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that lamin controls the duration of NE ruptures by opposing dynein forces on ruptured nuclei to allow reestablishment of the NE permeability barrier and subsequent restoration of NE rupture sites.

Reprogramming tumor-associated macrophages as a unique approach to target tumor immunotherapy

TL;DR: TAMs in particular are the most common kind of leucocyte in many malignancies and play a crucial role in establishing a favorable microenvironment for tumor cells as discussed by the authors .

Spindle Dynamics during Meiotic Development of the Fungus Podospora anserina Requires the Endoplasmic Reticulum-Shaping Protein RTN1.

TL;DR: In this article, the function of reticulon (RTN1) and Yop1 proteins (YOP1 and YOP2) of the model fungus Podospora anserina and their contribution to sexual development was analyzed.

Domain organization of human chromosomes revealed by mapping of nuclear lamina interactions

TL;DR: A high-resolution map of the interaction sites of the entire genome with NL components in human fibroblasts is constructed and demonstrates that the human genome is divided into large, discrete domains that are units of chromosome organization within the nucleus.

Nuclear lamin-A Scales With Tissue Stiffness and Enhances Matrix-Directed Differentiation

TL;DR: In this article, proteomics analyses revealed that levels of the nucleoskeletal protein lamin-A scaled with tissue elasticity, as did levels of collagens in the extracellular matrix that determine E.
