Integrated spatial genomics reveals global architecture of single nuclei
Multiplexed imaging of 3,660 chromosomal loci in individual mouse embryonic stem cells by DNA seqFISH+ with immunofluorescence of 17 chromatin marks and subnuclear structures reveals invariant organization of loci within individual cells, and heterogeneous and long-lived distinct combinatorial chromatin states in cellular subpopulations.

Chromosome clustering by Ki-67 excludes cytoplasm during nuclear assembly
The surfactant-like protein Ki-67 mediates the clustering of chromosomes during mitotic exit, which displaces large cytoplasmic molecules from the future nuclear space and thus enables the separation of cytoplasmic and nuclear components before the nuclear envelope reforms.

Closed mitosis requires local disassembly of the nuclear envelope
In a study performed in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, ‘closed mitosis’ is shown to occur via local disassembly of the nuclear envelope within the narrow bridge connecting segregating daughter nuclei, and a key role is identified for Les1, which restricts nuclear envelope breakdown to the bridge.

LEM2 phase separation promotes ESCRT-mediated nuclear envelope reformation
Following cell division, phase separation of the transmembrane adaptor LEM2 ensures that the ESCRT machinery remodels microtubules and seals the nuclear envelope.

Activation of PDGF pathway links LMNA mutation to dilated cardiomyopathy
A disease model using cardiomyocytes derived from induced pluripotent stem cells of patients with mutated LMNA-related dilated cardiomyopathy reveals that the abnormal activation of the PDGF pathway is associated with the arrhythmic phenotypes of patients.

Active chromatin marks drive spatial sequestration of heterochromatin in C. elegans nuclei
MRG-1 indirectly promotes anchoring of chromatin in differentiated intestinal cells in Caenorhabditis elegans by sequestering the histone acetyltransferase CBP-1/p300.

The C9orf72 repeat expansion disrupts nucleocytoplasmic transport
A candidate-based genetic screen in Drosophila expressing 30 G4C2-repeat-containing RNAs finds that RanGAP, a key regulator of nucleocytoplasmic transport, is a potent suppressor of neurodegeneration; the defects caused by the G4C2 repeat expansions can be rescued with antisense oligonucleotides or small molecules targeting the G-quadruplexes.

ESCRT-III controls nuclear envelope reformation
The ESCRT-III complex is implicated in the reformation of the nuclear envelope; the CHMP2A component of ESCRT-III is directed to the forming nuclear envelope through classical ESCRT-assembly mechanisms, with the help of the p97 complex component UFD1, and provides an activity essential for nuclear envelope reformation.

Nuclear architecture dictates HIV-1 integration site selection
HIV-1 integration into the host cell genome occurs in the outer shell of the nucleus in close correspondence with the nuclear pore, in which a series of cellular genes are preferentially targeted by the virus.

Protein quality control at the inner nuclear membrane
A protein degradation pathway is found at the inner nuclear membrane that is distinct from, but complementary to, endoplasmic-reticulum-associated protein degradation, and which is mediated by the Asi protein complex; a genome-wide library screening of yeast identifies more than 20 substrates of this pathway, which is shown to target mislocalized integral membrane proteins for degradation.
