Nuclear lamin A/C harnesses the perinuclear apical actin cables to protect nuclear morphology
An actin cap protects the morphology of the nucleus during cellular mechanical stress. Here, the authors show that the nuclear lamina protein lamin A/C mediates the formation of the actin cap in response to stress, and model the distribution of forces in the presence and absence of the actin cap.
