Dendritic cells mature to resist lamin degradation and herpes virus release.

Herpes simplex viruses bud into the nuclear membrane of infected cells. Turan et al. (2019. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201801151) demonstrate that mature dendritic cells control the peripheral location of lysosomes, reducing autophagic degradation of lamins and inhibiting viral release.
