Changes in nuclear area, shape, or volume alter dominant mechanical elements and possibly influence genome access. As nuclei deform, changes in chromatin organization could expose new sites for transcriptional regulation. The reversibility of nuclear deformation, both by swelling and applied force, suggests a controlled mechanism to alter chromatin states.
