@natcellbio.nature.com - Finally out! Skin cells mechanically protect their genome from UV by positioning melanin above nucleus. Keratin filaments & microtubules drive the process. Led by Silvia Benito-Martinez & @laurasalavessa.bsky.social @membramics-lab.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Keratin intermediate filaments mechanically position melanin pigments for genome photoprotection - Nature Cell Biology
Benito-Martínez, Salavessa and colleagues show that keratin intermediate filaments and microtubules control the three-dimensional perinuclear position of melanin-containing organelles, shielding the D...
