Pivoting of microtubules driven by minus end directed motors leads to their alignment to form an interpolar bundle

The paper shows microtubules from opposite poles align into antiparallel bundles through random rotation and minus end directed motor activity.

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.
