The role of the nuclear lamina in cancer and apoptosis.

Abstract excerpt

Not long after the discovery of lamin proteins, it became clear that not all lamin subtypes are ubiquitously expressed in cells and tissues. Especially, A-type lamins showed an inverse correlation with proliferation and were thus initially called statins. Here we compare the findings of both A- and B-type lamin expression in various normal tissues and their neoplastic counterparts. Based on immunocytochemistry it...
