Abstract excerpt
The linker of nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton (LINC) complex mediates intracellular cross talk between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. In striated muscle, the LINC complex provides structural support to the myocyte nucleus and plays an essential role in regulating gene expression and mechanotransduction. A wide range of cardiac and skeletal myopathies have been linked to mutations in LINC complex proteins. Studies...
