Chromosome crowding shapes spindle geometry
A study published in Nature reports that crowding of chromosomes inside cells influences the geometry of the spindle, the structure that separates chromosomes during cell division. The finding offers new insight into how dividing cells organise themselves and could inform research on cell division errors linked to developmental problems and cancer.
Why now: New cell biology research in Nature is drawing attention for revealing a physical mechanism behind spindle formation during cell division.
