Nuclear envelope assembly and dynamics during development
Bernhard Hampoelz, Janina Baumbach
Abstract
The nuclear envelope (NE) protects but also organizes the eukaryotic genome. In this review we will discuss recent literature on how the NE disassembles and reassembles, how it varies in surface area and protein composition and how this translates into chromatin organization and gene expression in the context of animal development.
