Nuclear lamins: Structure and function in mechanobiology [PDF]
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.

Nuclear Lamins: Key Proteins for Embryonic Development [PDF]
Biology, 2022 Lamins are essential components of the nuclear envelope and have been studied for decades due to their involvement in several devastating human diseases, the laminopathies.

The Paradox of Nuclear Lamins in Pathologies: Apparently Controversial Roles Explained by Tissue-Specific Mechanobiology [PDF]
Cells, 2022 The nuclear lamina is a complex meshwork of intermediate filaments (lamins) that is located beneath the inner nuclear membrane and the surrounding nucleoplasm.

Nuclear lamins in cancer. [PDF]
Cell Mol Bioeng, 2016 Dysmorphic nuclei are commonly seen in cancers and provide strong motivation for studying the main structural proteins of nuclei, the lamins, in cancer. Past studies have also demonstrated the significance of microenvironment mechanics to cancer progression, which is extremely interesting because the lamina was recently shown to be mechanosensitive ...

A Perspective on the Experimental Techniques for Studying Lamins [PDF]
Cells, 2017 Lamins are type V intermediate filaments that collectively form a meshwork underneath the inner nuclear membrane, called nuclear lamina. Furthermore, they are also present in the nucleoplasm. Lamins are experiencing a growing interest, since a wide range

Nuclear lamins and neurobiology. [PDF]
Mol Cell Biol, 2014 Much of the work on nuclear lamins during the past 15 years has focused on mutations in LMNA (the gene for prelamin A and lamin C) that cause particular muscular dystrophy, cardiomyopathy, partial lipodystrophy, and progeroid syndromes. These disorders, often called "laminopathies," mainly affect mesenchymal tissues (e.g., striated muscle, bone, and ...

Anticancer Pyrroloquinazoline LBL1 Targets Nuclear Lamins. [PDF]
ACS Chem Biol, 2018 Target identification of bioactive compounds is critical for understanding their mechanism of action. We previously discovered a novel pyrroloquinazoline compound LBL1 with significant anticancer activity. However, its molecular targets remain to be established. Herein, we developed a clickable photoaffinity probe based on LBL1.

Cold Spring Harb Perspect Biol, 2010 The nuclear lamins are type V intermediate filament proteins that are critically important for the structural properties of the nucleus. In addition, they are involved in the regulation of numerous nuclear processes, including DNA replication, transcription and chromatin organization.

Nuclear lamins: making contacts with promoters. [PDF]
Nucleus, 2013 The nuclear lamina guards the genome and in many ways contributes to regulating nuclear function. Increasing evidence indicates that the lamina dynamically interacts with chromatin mainly through large repressive domains, and recent data suggest that at least some of the lamin-genome contacts may be developmentally significant. In an attempt to provide

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 ...
