Asymmetric Division: Motor Persistence Pays off

Research output: Contribution to journal › Short survey › peer-review

Abstract

A new study shows that an antagonistic force model can explain a number of complex mitotic spindle movements in the first mitosis of the Caenorhabditis elegans embryo by simply assuming that cortical force generators become increasingly persistent in their interaction with microtubules during mitosis.
