SnapShot: Nucleo-cytoskeletal Interactions

Cell. 2017 May 18;169(5):970-970.e1. doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2017.05.014.

Abstract

The nucleus is connected to the cytoskeleton, and these connections are involved in multiple functions such as nuclear positioning, shape and stiffness, cytoskeleton organization, mechanotransduction, gene expression, chromosome positioning, DNA repair, and cell migration.
