Last day to submit abstracts! Nuclear cell biologists, mechanobiologists, et al. don’t miss out - amazing interdisciplinary line up: computational biology, biophysics, development, genomics - we will have it all!

Nuclear mechanics as a determinant of nuclear pore complex plasticity - Nature Cell Biology In this Review, Lusk et al. discuss emerging insights into nuclear pore complex variability with regard to composition and dilation state, and propose nuclear mechanics as a key determinant of driving...

Did you know that all nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are not the same? @luskinglab.bsky.social propose a new hypothesis for how nuclear mechanics may impact the compositional plasticity of NPCs with implications for tissue-specific diseases caused by NPC dysfunction.
