SciVee - Postmitotic Nuclear Envelope Membrane en Nuclear envelope starts with a clean sheet <p>At the start of mitosis, the nuclear envelope and nuclear pore complexes break down and disperse into the endoplasmic reticulum and cytoplasm. Lu et al. use rapid, 3D live cell imaging to reveal that, in contrast to previous models, the nuclear envelope reforms directly from ER cisternae after mitosis and that this happens before nuclear pore complexes start to reassemble. This biosights episode presents the paper by Lu et al.</p> <p><a href="">read more</a></p> cisternae endoplasmic reticulum ER JCB Journal of Cell Biology membrane mitosis nuclear envelope nuclear pore complex Postmitotic Nuclear Envelope Membrane tomography Wed, 10 Aug 2011 20:16:23 +0000 JCB 32809 at
