Abstract :
Extracellular microenvironmental signals modulate the coupling between cytoskeleton to nuclear links to regulate gene expression profiles. However the influence of actomyosin assembly on the morphology of the nucleus is not well understood. In this paper, we quantitatively demonstrate the role of cell geometry and specific actomyosin molecular components in their control of nuclear morphology.
