Abstract excerpt
In-frame mutations in nuclear lamin A/C lead to a multitude of tissue-specific degenerative diseases known as the 'laminopathies'. Previous studies have demonstrated that lamin A/C-null mouse fibroblasts have defects in cell polarisation, suggesting a role for lamin A/C in nucleo-cytoskeletal-cell surface cross-talk. However, this has not been examined in patient fibroblasts expressing modified forms of lamin...
