Nuclear envelope buffering of cytoskeletal force stabilizes chromosome interactions in C. elegans meiosis

Meiosis requires coordination between chromosome and nuclear envelope (NE) dynamics. Cytoskeletal forces transmitted through the NE via Linker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton (LINC) complexes drive chromosome movement but can also compromise nuclear integrity if not properly balanced. Here, we identify the conserved...
