  • Title: Nuclear envelope breakdown: actin' quick to tear down the wall.
    Author: Mogessie B, Schuh M.
    Journal: Curr Biol; 2014 Jul 07; 24(13):R605-7. PubMed ID: 25004364.
    Abstract:
    Nuclear envelope breakdown in metazoan cells is thought to be facilitated by microtubules, which pull on the nuclear membranes. Unexpectedly, an F-actin meshwork helps to tear down the large nucleus of starfish oocytes and to prevent chromosome loss in meiosis.
