title: Enclosing chromatin: reassembly of the nucleus after open mitosis.
abstract: During mitosis in vertebrate cells, the nuclear envelope undergoes extensive structural reorganization, starting with the retraction of nuclear membranes into the ER at mitotic onset and ending with the re-enclosure of chromatin by ER-derived membranes during mitotic exit. Here, we review our current understanding of postmitotic nuclear assembly.
