Where this comes from

Abstract

During mitosis in vertebrate cells, the nuclear envelope undergoes extensive structural reorganization, starting with the retraction of nuclear membranes into the ER at mitotic onset and ending with the re-enclosure of chromatin by ER-derived membranes during mitotic exit. Here, we review our current understanding of postmitotic nuclear assembly.
