Control of nuclear size by osmotic forces in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Control of nuclear size by osmotic forces in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

The size of the nucleus scales robustly with cell size so that the nuclear-to-cell volume ratio (N/C ratio) is maintained during cell growth in many cell types. The mechanism responsible for this scaling remains mysterious. Previous studies have established that the N/C ratio is not determined by DN...
