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. -tameeria01:39, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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—Precedingunsigned comment added by76.175.84.233 (talk)05:39, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

At the professional level, the term "nuclear envelope" is preferred, really. There is already, however, a redirect fromnuclear membrane. –ClockworkSoul16:46, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

how do variation of the thinckness of leaves makes them fit or suvive easily in the environment?—Precedingunsigned comment added by222.127.185.7 (talk)13:44, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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.—Precedingunsigned comment added by75.3.0.227 (talk)18:11, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

•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.— Precedingunsigned comment added byTArbogast (talk •contribs)21:54, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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. ThanksDig Deeper (talk)17:33, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

already covered on target page as is Outer membraneIztwoz (talk)08:29, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support - As "inner membrane" can refer to several different things in biology. Would you change the 'Inner membrane' to a disambiguation page, likeOuter membrane? Thanks for doing this.Kbseah (talk)10:30, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Changed page name to nuclear envelope re other refs to this on this page. Missed out on reason when moved page - envelope is the gaining ground on ngrams and is used extensively on the Cell nucleus page.--Iztwoz (talk)09:40, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please excuse my rampant ignorance, but what does 'entire expression' mean, in this sentence from the 'inner membrane' section of the article:

"The inner nuclear membrane encloses the nucleoplasm, and is covered by the nuclear lamina, a mesh of intermediate filaments which stabilizes the nuclear membrane as well as being involved in chromatin function andentire expression."UnderEducatedGeezer (talk)06:32, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Have changed it a little, needs expanding on. --Iztwoz (talk)08:57, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
