Abstract

Differentiating erythroid cells undergo dramatic changes in morphology, with reduction in cell size, chromatin and nuclear condensation, and enucleation. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Zhao et al. (2016) show that these events are associated with the formation of transient, recurring nuclear openings and selective histone release mediated by caspase-3.
