The elasticity of motor–microtubule bundles and shape of the mitotic spindle

In the process of cell division, chromosomes are segregated by mitotic spindles—bipolar microtubule arrays that have a characteristic fusiform shape. Mitotic spindle function is based on motor-generated forces of hundreds of piconewtons. These forces have to deform the spindle, yet the role of micro...
