title: Nuclear migration: rock and roll facilitated by dynein and kinesin.
abstract: The nucleus encounters other organelles as well as high cytoplasmic pressures during its migration within the cell. A new study describes how the action of kinesin and dynein motors is coordinated at the nuclear envelope to rock and roll the nucleus in Caenorhabditis elegans.
