Nuclear pores are nanomachines acting as gatekeepers of molecular transport across nuclear membranes. In a recent issue of Cell, Rodriguez-Bravo et al. (2018) demonstrates that nuclear pores promote aggressive prostate cancer by snowballing POM121-importin β-driven nuclear import. Treatment with Importazole, an importin β inhibitor, impeded tumor aggressiveness, presenting a potential therapeutic strategy.
