Talk:Nuclear envelope

Template:WikiProject Molecular and Cellular Biology This article is or was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): TArbogast (article contribs). Peer reviewers: TArbogast. I moved part of the paragraph on the nuclear lamina to the actual nuclear lamina article. There's also the possibility of redirecting the nuclear lamina article to this one...--Kinglz 21:21, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I wouldn't redirect nuclear lamina to nuclear envelope, based on the fact that only the animal nuclear envelope has a true nuclear lamina. Also, this article is completely missing information on the plant nuclear envelope, e.g. its role as MTOC in mitosis. - tameeria 01:39, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

In my school, the textbook calls it "the nuclear membrane," so I was thinking if we should change it. User:yctaabpjic 10:40 10 October —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.175.84.233 (talk) 05:39, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

At the professional level, the term "nuclear envelope" is preferred, really. There is already, however, a redirect from nuclear membrane. – ClockworkSoul 16:46, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

how do variation of the thinckness of leaves makes them fit or suvive easily in the environment? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.127.185.7 (talk) 13:44, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

removing reference to non-existent micrograph

This page references a non-existent electron micrograph of the envelope. I'm going to remove it for now, if someone has the micrograph and wants to add it back in please do. removed text:

The nuclear envelope is shown in an electron micrograph in the figure to the right. The filaments outside the envelope are not visualized with these protocols. Also, the nuclear lamina just inside the nuclear envelope is not shown well (see paragraph below for description). However, one can see ribosomes on the outer membrane and the sac enclosed by the two membranes. Dense patches of Heterochromatin are seen just inside the inner membrane.

Link to illustration

The "Nuclear envelope breakdown during mitosis in metazoans" section of this page contains a link to a picture of the cell nucleus, instead of an actual picture within the article. The picture also seems to be protected by copyright. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.3.0.227 (talk) 18:11, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Article Review/Recommendations

• The article provides a very brief understanding of the nuclear membrane. Within the section entitled “Cell Division” the language was concise and would be understandable to someone without a background in science.

• The subsection “Reformation” clearly outlines the two theories of nuclear membrane reformation, but additional material on why that debate exists would be beneficial to the article and to future readers.

• In addition, a small mention of the nuclear membrane function during cell division should be in the introductory paragraph, to better direct readers to this information.

• The links were functioning well and didn’t direct to any stub article or misdirected information.

• I noticed for this relatively short article, the same source (#7) was used over 8 times while the other sources were only used once and were often single word additions. Incorporating other sources to be used alongside the seventh one would benefit the article greatly. Perhaps some research studies could make the article more interesting while solidifying key concepts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TArbogast (talk • contribs) 21:54, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Nuclear envelope not the same as Nuclear membrane?

Is the difference between the nuclear envelope and the nuclear membrane the inclusion of the intermembrane space? This is not very clear in the lead especially with the image. Thanks Dig Deeper (talk) 17:33, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
