The cell nucleus is separated from the rest of the cell by the nuclear envelope. The nuclear envelope, nuclear envelope proteins and nuclear lamina organise the structure of the entire nucleus and the chromatin via a myriad of interactions. These interactions are dynamic, change with the change (progress) of the cell cycle, with cell differentiation and with changes in cell physiology.
