    TPR is required for cytoplasmic chromatin fragment formation during senescence

    Bethany M Bartlett, Yatendra Kumar ... Wendy A Bickmore
    Evidence is provided suggesting that heterochromatin re-organisation during cell senescence can compromise the structural integrity of the nucleus, leading to activation of an inflammatory process.
