Breaking down the wall: the nuclear envelope during mitosis

Highlights • The nuclear envelope (NE) is actively remodeled during mitosis. • Microtubule-organizing centers (MTOCs) insert into the NE in closed mitosis. • The NE disassembles during open mitosis to facilitate spindle formation. • Membrane bending, composition and stabilization are associated with...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • The nuclear envelope (NE) is actively remodeled during mitosis. • Microtubule-organizing centers (MTOCs) insert into the NE in closed mitosis. • The NE disassembles during open mitosis to facilitate spindle formation. • Membrane bending, composition and stabilization are associated with MTOCs.
