             This nuclear ATP is critical to prevent delays in confinement-induced DNA damage, which in the long-term, impacts post-confinement cell proliferation. In essence, acute metabolic stress sensitises cells towards acquiring a mechanical stress-induced memory.

             This nuclear ATP surge regulates chromatin accessibility, which is required for timely DNA damage repair and proper S-phase progression. Without the nuclear ATP surge, the chromatin remains compacted, preventing nuclear adaptability to mechanical stress.

             Functionally, this NAM accumulation leads to an amazing nuclear ATP surge, which is abolished either by actin depolymerization, but also by inhibiting mitochondrial ATP production.

             NAM are trapped by an immobilized ER network in an actin-dependent manner, forming a mesh-like trap. Interfering with actin polymerization, but not intracellular calcium levels, prevented this accumulation of NAM, and prevented nuclear deformation.

             High resolution confocal microscopy confirmed the accumulation of mitochondria at the nuclear periphery of cancer cells (tested across 4 types), forming "nucleus-associated mitochondria" (NAM), and in turn physically deforming and indenting the nucleus.

             Acute physical confinement causes a major enrichment in mitochondrial terms within the nuclear fraction in a subcellularly-resolved proteomic analysis of mechanically confined cancer cells.

             Are colorectal cancer stem cells mechanically distinct from the rest of the tumor? @SeforaConti addressed this question using patient-derived colorectal cancer organoids.
