Skoltech researchers Ekaterina Khrameeva, Aleksandra Galitsyna, Mariya Logacheva and Mikhail Gelfand have co-authored a paper “Nuclear lamina integrity is required for proper spatial organization of chromatin in Drosophila” recently published in Nature Communications. The scientists have shown that a nuclear lamina has a great impact on chromatin architechture in Drosophila S2 cells and disruption of the nuclear lamina leads to chromatin compaction and further repositioning from the nuclear envelope.
