This study measures forces on human mitotic spindles and shows that cortical dynein clustering determines spindle orientation mechanics.

This study investigates how kinetochore microtubules (KMTs) organize in human mitotic spindles using electron tomography, experiments, and modeling, finding that KMTs grow along defined trajectories and predominantly nucleate de novo at kinetochores.

This study evolves Escherichia coli in high osmolarity environments and finds that adaptation strategies vary by osmolyte, with specific mutations improving fitness in certain conditions.

The paper measures traction forces during the cell cycle and finds they increase in G1, plateau in S phase, and decrease in G2, revealing a previously unknown regulation of cell contractility.
