Lamin C is required to establish genome organization after mitosis
Background The dynamic 3D organization of the genome is central to gene regulation and development. The nuclear lamina influences genome organization through the tethering of lamina-associated domains (LADs) to the nuclear periphery.

Cryo-EM structures of the BAF-Lamin A/C complex bound to nucleosomes [PDF]
Barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF) associates with mitotic chromosomes and promotes nuclear envelope assembly by recruiting proteins, such as Lamins, required for the reconstruction of the nuclear envelope and lamina.

High matrix stiffness promotes senescence of type II alveolar epithelial cells by lysosomal degradation of lamin A/C in pulmonary fibrosis [PDF]
Background Cellular senescence is one of the key steps in the progression of pulmonary fibrosis, and the senescence of type II alveolar epithelial cells (AEC IIs) may potentially accelerate the progression of pulmonary fibrosis.

Neuron type‐specific increase in lamin B1 contributes to nuclear dysfunction in Huntington’s disease
Lamins are crucial proteins for nuclear functionality. Here, we provide new evidence showing that increased lamin B1 levels contribute to the pathophysiology of Huntington’s disease (HD), a CAG repeat‐associated neurodegenerative disorder.

Background: Lamins are the major component of nuclear lamina. Alternative splicing of the 12 exons comprising lamin A/C gene creates five known transcript variants, lamin A, lamin C, lamin AΔ10, lamin AΔ50, and lamin C2. The main objective for this study

The wide and growing range of lamin B-related diseases: from laminopathies to cancer
B-type lamins are fundamental components of the nuclear lamina, a complex structure that acts as a scaffold for organization and function of the nucleus.

LAP2alpha maintains a mobile and low assembly state of A-type lamins in the nuclear interior
Lamins form stable filaments at the nuclear periphery in metazoans. Unlike B-type lamins, lamins A and C localize also in the nuclear interior, where they interact with lamin-associated polypeptide 2 alpha (LAP2α).

Mutations in the lamin A/C gene (LMNA) cause laminopathies such as the premature aging Hutchinson Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) and altered lamin A/C levels are found in diverse malignancies.

Nucleoplasmic lamin C rapidly accumulates at sites of nuclear envelope rupture with BAF and cGAS
In mammalian cell nuclei, the nuclear lamina (NL) underlies the nuclear envelope (NE) to maintain nuclear structure. The nuclear lamins, the major structural components of the NL, are involved in the protection against NE rupture induced by mechanical ...

The increase in senescent cells in tissues, including the brain, is a general feature of normal aging and age-related pathologies. Senescent cells exhibit a specific phenotype, which includes an altered nuclear morphology and transcriptomic changes ...
