How to unravel a basket: NPC reorganization during meiosis.

While our understanding of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) structure is progressing spectacularly, the organizational principles of its nuclear basket remain elusive. In this issue, King et al. (2022. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202204039) provide new insights into the mechanisms that govern nuclear basket reorganization during meiosis.
