Nuclear envelope-limited chromatin sheets (ELCS) and heterochromatin higher order structure

DE Olins, AL Olins - Chromosoma, 2009 - Springer
The interphase nucleus and nuclear envelope can acquire a myriad of shapes in normal or
pathological cell states. There exist a wide variety of indentations and invaginations, of …

Interphase epichromatin: last refuge for the 30-nm chromatin fiber?

P Xu, J Mahamid, M Dombrowski, W Baumeister… - Chromosoma, 2021 - Springer

The shifting shape of genomes: dynamics of heterochromatin interactions at the nuclear lamina

VE Hoskins, K Smith, KL Reddy - Current opinion in genetics & …, 2021 - Elsevier
The nucleus is a highly structured organelle with many chromatin and protein compartments
that partition the genome into regulatory domains. One such a compartment within the …

The nuclear envelope

EA Nigg - Current opinion in cell biology, 1989 - Elsevier
The nuclear envelope separates nuclear and cytoplasmic activities, and it controls all
macromolecular exchange between nucleus and cytoplasm. III addition, it helps to …

The nuclear envelope as a chromatin organizer

N Zuleger, MI Robson, EC Schirmer - Nucleus, 2011 - Taylor & Francis
In the past 15 years our perception of nuclear envelope function has evolved perhaps nearly
as much as the nuclear envelope itself evolved in the last 3 billion years. Historically viewed …
