TMEM209/NPP-28 partitions PLK-1 between the nuclear envelope and nuclear interior during mitosis

This study identifies NPP-28 as a regulator of PLK-1 localization during mitosis, showing it partitions PLK-1 between the nuclear envelope and interior to control NEBD.

Amphipathic helices sense the inner nuclear membrane environment through lipid packing defects

The paper identifies how amphipathic helices bind to the inner nuclear membrane by sensing lipid packing defects rather than electrostatics, showing the INM's loose packing under basal conditions.

Hierarchical membrane-chromatin tethering buffers nuclear envelope assembly against alterations in lipid flux

The paper shows that hierarchical membrane-chromatin tethering, specifically involving LEM-2 and Emerin, ensures nuclear envelope stability by regulating lipid homeostasis and preventing abnormal nuclear morphology.

The Evolutionary Origins and Ancestral Features of Septins

This study investigates the evolutionary origins and ancestral features of septins by analyzing their phylogenetic distribution and structural evolution across eukaryotes.

Dynein Pulling Forces On Ruptured Nuclei Counteract Lamin-Mediated Nuclear Envelope Repair Mechanisms In Vivo

This study shows that dynein forces on ruptured nuclei counteract lamin-mediated nuclear envelope repair in C. elegans embryos, affecting NE rupture duration and recovery.
