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.

Nuclear Pores Assemble from Nucleoporin Condensates During Oogenesis

TL;DR: It is shown that during Drosophila oogenesis, Nucleoporins condense into different precursor granules that interact and progress into NPCs, a non-canonical NPC assembly mechanism that relies on N nucleoporin condensates and occurs away from the nucleus under conditions of cell cycle arrest.

Phosphatases in Mitosis: Roles and Regulation.

TL;DR: This review will focus on the established and emerging roles of mitotic phosphatases, describe their structural and biochemical properties, and discuss recent advances in understanding the regulation of phosphatase activity and function.

Channel Nucleoporins Recruit PLK-1 to Nuclear Pore Complexes to Direct Nuclear Envelope Breakdown in C. elegans.

TL;DR: It is concluded that nucleoporins play an unanticipated regulatory role in NEBD, by recruiting PLK-1 to the NE thereby facilitating phosphorylation of critical downstream targets.

Chromosome clustering by Ki-67 excludes cytoplasm during nuclear assembly

TL;DR: The study reveals that chromosome mechanics help to re-establish the compartmentalization of eukaryotic cells after open mitosis and shows that the exclusion of mature ribosomes from the nucleus after mitosis depends on Ki-67-regulated chromosome clustering.

Nuclear envelope assembly defects link mitotic errors to chromothripsis

TL;DR: These findings indicate that chromosome segregation and NE assembly are only loosely coordinated through the timing of mitotic spindle disassembly, and that micronuclei have impaired nuclear import, and key nuclear proteins required to maintain the integrity of the NE and the genome fail to accumulate normally.

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.
