Creating an element is no easy feat. It's the equivalent of firing six trillion bullets a second at a needle in a haystack, hoping the bullet and needle somehow fuse together, then catching it in less than a thousandth of a second โ after which it's gone forever.

โฆ Synopsis
During mitosis, a single nucleus gives rise to two nuclei that are identical to the parent nucleus. Mitosis consists of a continuous sequence of events that must be carried out once and only once. Two such important events are the disassembly of the nuclear envelope (NE) during the first stages of mitosis, and its accurate reassembly during the last stages of mitosis. NE breakdown (NEBD) is initiated when maturation-promoting factor (MPF) enters the nucleus and starts phosphorylating nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) and nuclear lamina proteins, followed by NPC and lamina breakdown. Nuclear reassembly starts when nuclear membranes assemble onto the chromatin. This article focuses on the different models of NEBD and reassembly with emphasis on recent data.

The transport of molecules across the nuclear envelope plays a central role in the metabolism of the cell. Significant advances in three major areas highlight the limits of our current knowledge and point to the prospect of exciting future developments. Firstly, findings that ions and small proteins
## The nuclear envelope has recently become the object of intense scrutiny because it is the site of nuclear transport and is possibly involved in the organization of the interphase genome, thereby aflecting gene expression. The major structural support for the nuclear envelope is the nuclear lamina
In early stages of flagellar development the nuclear envelope on either side of the implantation fossa develops numerous pores. With condensation of the nucleus the envelope becomes excessive and these annulated portions of the envelope are reflected off the surface of the nucleus into the cytoplasm
