A tense time for the nuclear envelope
Abstract
When many cells divide, the nuclear envelope poses a problem: the spindle microtubules can't access the chromosomes. Two recent papers in Cell describe how the spindle solves this problem by literally pulling open the nucleus at the beginning of mitosis.
