Optogenetic control of PRC1 reveals that bridging fibers promote chromosome alignment by overlap length-dependent forces

This study uses optogenetic removal of PRC1 to show that bridging fibers promote chromosome alignment through overlap length-dependent forces.

Pivot-and-bond model explains microtubule bundle formation

The paper shows that random angular movement and cross-linking forces explain microtubule bundle formation during mitosis.
