Heterochromatin-Driven Nuclear Softening Protects the Genome against Mechanical Stress-Induced Damage

Tissue homeostasis requires maintenance of functional integrity under stress. A central source of stress is mechanical force that acts on cells, their nuclei, and chromatin, but how the genome is protected against mechanical stress is unclear. We show that mechanical stretch deforms the nucleus, whi...
