Abstract

Chromatin decompaction via increasing euchromatin or decreasing heterochromatin results in a softer nucleus and abnormal nuclear blebbing, independent of lamin perturbations. Conversely, increasing heterochromatin stiffens the nucleus and rescues nuclear morphology in lamin-perturbed cells that present abnormal nuclear morphology.
