A novel role of lamins from genetic disease to cancer biomarkers
Oncology Reviews, 2016 Lamins are the key components of the nuclear lamina and by virtue of their interactions with chromatin and binding partners act as regulators of cell proliferation and differentiation.

Lamins and lamin-associated proteins
Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1994 A variety of morphological and biochemical studies have established that the nuclear lamins play an important role in nuclear structure and dynamics. Recent work reveals the existence of specialized lamin isotypes and novel pathways of modulation of lamin import into the nucleus via phosphorylation by protein kinase C.

Nuclear lamins: Structure and function in mechanobiology
APL Bioengineering, 2022 Nuclear lamins are type V intermediate filament proteins that polymerize into complex filamentous meshworks at the nuclear periphery and in less structured forms throughout the nucleoplasm.

Chromosome positioning is largely unaffected in lymphoblastoid cell lines containing emerin or A-type lamin mutations [PDF]
, 2005 Gene-poor human chromosomes are reproducibly found at the nuclear periphery in proliferating cells. There are a number of inner nuclear envelope proteins that may have roles in chromosome location and anchorage, e.g. emerin and A-type lamins.

Myopathic lamin mutations cause reductive stress and activate the nrf2/keap-1 pathway. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2015 Mutations in the human LMNA gene cause muscular dystrophy by mechanisms that are incompletely understood. The LMNA gene encodes A-type lamins, intermediate filaments that form a network underlying the inner nuclear membrane, providing structural support ...

Post-Translational Modification of Lamins: Mechanisms and Functions
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Lamins are the ancient type V intermediate filament proteins contributing to diverse biological functions, such as the maintenance of nuclear morphology, stabilization of chromatin architecture, regulation of cell cycle progression, regulation of spatial-

Aging of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome fibroblasts is characterised by hyperproliferation and increased apoptosis [PDF]
, 2004 Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that mimics certain aspects of aging prematurely. Recent work has revealed that mutations in the lamin A gene are a cause of the disease.

Nuclear lamins and diabetes mellitus
STEMedicine, 2020 In metazoans, a thin filamentous network referred to as the nuclear lamina plays an essential role in providing mechanical support to the nucleus. The major constituent of the nuclear lamina is type V intermediate filament proteins that are collectively ...

Nuclear lamina strain states revealed by intermolecular force biosensor
Nature Communications, 2023 Nuclear lamins have been considered an important structural element of the nucleus. The nuclear lamina is thought both to shield DNA from excessive mechanical forces and to transmit mechanical forces onto the DNA.
