Mechano-active nuclear condensate growth and “Chromatin filter” models.

(top) Growth of nuclear condensates is favorable in mechanically softer euchromatin while inhibited in mechanically stiffer heterochromatin. (bottom) Schematics for “Chromatin filter” model showing how targeted condensation can bring distal genomic loci together, while mechanically excluding non-targeted background chromatin.
