Model of the lamina as a tensegrity structure in which lamin filaments (bars) form a cage-like structure reminiscent of a geodesic dome. The cage is connected to the actin cytoskeleton (long wavy filaments) by nesprins (blue elements) and emerin (red spots), both of which are anchored to the lamina. These connections constrain the shape of the lamina to the polarity of the cell.
