The ability of a cell to regulate its mechanical properties is central to its function. Emerging evidence suggests that interactions between the cell nucleus and cytoskeleton influence cell mechanics through poorly understood mechanisms. Here we conduct quantitative confocal imaging to show that loss of A-type lamins tends to increase nuclear...
Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative blinding disease associated with increased intraocular pressure, which is caused by an increased resistance to the outflow of aqueous humor. Although the cause for increased resistance remains unknown, it has been associated with a decreased density of pores in the cells of the inner wall endothelium...
