Deskripsi

The nuclear lamina bridges mechanical forces from the cytoskeleton to the nucleus, and while Lamin A/C is known to be crucial for this process, its regulation remains unclear. Here the authors show that levels of Lamin A/C scale with apico-basal compression of cells independently of tissue stiffness using Drosophila epithelial tissues and mammalian cells.
