By minimizing the distance between a cell's nucleus and the numerous proteins and organelles that is always regulated by the cell, a cell recives the maximum speed in which intercellular communications will take place while providing the ideal conditions for diffusion: Movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, a vital function in the life of a cell.
