Impact of the Nuclear Envelope on Malignant Transformation, Motility, and Survival of Lung Cancer Cells

Abstract Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) selectively mediate all nucleocytoplasmic transport and engage in fundamental cell‐physiological processes. It is hypothesized that NPCs are critical for malignant transformation and survival of lung cancer cells, and test the hypothesis in lowly and highly met...
