Study identifies new mechanisms driving genomic instability

A recent Northwestern Medicine study published in the Journal of Cell Biology has identified new mechanisms that cause genomic or chromosomal instability during cell division, findings that may improve the development of biomarkers and targeted therapies for cancer.

"[...] a tension-dependent signal on the #nucleus that sets the time for nuclear envelope permeabilization (NEP) and mitotic entry. This signal relies on #actomyosin #contractility, which unfolds the nucleus during the G2-M transition, activating the stretch-sensitive #cPLA2 on the nuclear envelope and regulating the nuclear translocation of #cyclin B1.[...]"

Nuclear tension controls mitotic entry by regulating cyclin B1 nuclear translocation

Mitotic entry is regulated by the activity of cyclin B1-CDK1 complexes. In this study, Dantas et al. show that actomyosin-dependent nuclear tension during proph
