Osmotic Coupling of Mechanics and Epigenetics Regulates Chromatin Phase Organization
Cells experience epigenetic, osmotic, and mechanical perturbations that reorganize chromatin, yet how these distinct cues are integrated into a common physical response of the nucleus remains unclear. Here, we identify nuclear hydration as a central state variable that links microenvironmental perturbations to chromatin phase organization and nuclear mechanics. We develop a non-equilibrium…
