An 'earthquake' in the cell: Scientists discover how a modification of the nuclear lamina maintains nuclear shape

The genetic material of each mammalian cell is safeguarded within the cell’s nucleus. In healthy organisms, the usually round-shaped nucleus gets its stability from the nuclear envelope and the nuclear lamina. The latter is a network of proteins sandwiched between the inner nuclear envelope and the DNA, and largely shapes nuclear form.
