Using Micromanipulation to Analyze Control of Vertebrate Meiotic Spindle Size

The polymerization/depolymerization dynamics of microtubules (MTs) have been reported to contribute to control of the size and shape of spindles, but quantitative analysis of how the size and shape correlate with the amount and density of MTs in the spindle remains incomplete. Here, we measured the...
