Human epithelial cells formed reversible wrinkles in their nuclear envelopes as cell density rose or the cells rounded. The wrinkles appeared without detectable envelope rupture, DNA damage or a stress-associated histone change, supporting a geometric explanation for how nuclei accommodate mechanical constraints.
