In their Nature paper, Singh's team also showed for the first time that this transcriptional repression was dependent on breakdown and reformation of the nuclear
membrane during cell division.

Membrane remodeling typically occurs
during cell division,
during cell movement as it slithers around, and
during vesicle formation, when a small piece buds off like what you might see in a lava lamp.
The fragment forms a «micronucleus» with its own
membrane and becomes prone to extensive rearrangements of its genetic material, which can then be reincorporated into chromosomes
during the next
cell division.
«The plasma
membrane also dynamically changes shape
during cell migration, cancer
cell invasion,
cell division, nutrient uptake, and entry of pathogens and viruses into
cells,» Shin explains.
