Fast Microtubule Dynamics in Meiotic Spindles Measured by Single Imaging: Evidence that the Spindle Environment does not Stabilize Microtubules
Metaphase spindles are steady-state ensembles of microtubules that turn over rapidly and slide poleward in some systems. Since the discovery of dynamic instability in the mid-1980s, models for spindle morphogenesis have proposed that microtubules are stabilized by the spindle environment. We used si...
