Autocatalytic microtubule nucleation determines the size and mass of Xenopus laevis egg extract spindles
Regulation of size and growth is a fundamental problem in biology. A prominent example is the formation of the mitotic spindle, where protein concentration gradients around chromosomes are thought to regulate spindle growth by controlling microtubule nucleation. Previous evidence suggests that micro...
