Abstract
Chiang et al. use polymer simulations to investigate the roles of heterochromatin and lamina interactions on nuclear reorganization in cellular senescence. Their model captures chromatin organization in growing, senescent, and progeroid cells and predicts that a polymeric phase transition underlies the ensuing rearrangements in the chromatin contact network.
