The Inner Nuclear Membrane Has a Unique Lipid Signature
The inner nuclear membrane (INM) has a distinct lipid profile, most notably characterized by high enrichment of phosphatidylserine (PS). In this review, Yang Niu and Tamas Balla summarize recent advances in elucidating the INM's lipid composition and related metabolic pathways, while elaborating further on their potential functional roles.

Emerging perspectives on laminopathies
Laminopathies are a group of inherited disorders caused by mutations in the lamin A/C gene, and can affect diverse organs or tissues, or can be systemic, causing premature aging. In the present review, we report on the composition and structure of the nuclear lamina and the role of lamins in nuclear mechanics and their involvement in human diseases ...

Concise Review: Plasma and Nuclear Membranes Convey Mechanical Information to Regulate Mesenchymal Stem Cell Lineage [PDF]
Numerous factors including chemical, hormonal, spatial, and physical cues determine stem cell fate. While the regulation of stem cell differentiation by soluble factors is well-characterized, the role of mechanical force in the determination of lineage ...

Atrial TR as more favourable prognosis except in advanced patients. Abstract Background and Aims Although the classification of secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR) by atrial or ventricular aetiology (A‐STR or V‐STR) carries prognostic importance, the confounding effects of New York Heart Association (NYHA) class have not yet been elucidated.

Cardiac involvement in laminopathies [PDF]
Lamin A/C gene mutations can be associated with myocardial diseases, usually characterized by dilated cardiomyopathy and/or arrhythmic disorders. Phenotypic penetrance is age-related but expression is extremely heterogeneous, so that muscular and arrhythmic disease can be present in combination in the same patient, or one phenotypic manifestation can ...

cTAGE5 regulates LBR trafficking between the ER and the nucleus membrane to maintain the integrity of both the ER and the nuclear envelope. cTAGE5 KO results in LBR retention in the ER, reduced stability, and subsequent disruption of nuclear envelope integrity. ABSTRACT cTAGE5/MEA6 plays a pivotal role in COPII complex assembly, ER‐to‐Golgi trafficking,

Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy: the most recognizable laminopathy
Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD), a rare inherited disease, is characterized clinically by humero-peroneal muscle atrophy and weakness, multijoint contractures, spine rigidity and cardiac insufficiency with conduction defects.
