Reconstituting mitotic spindle organization in artificial confinement

The first talk of the day, by Marileen Dogterom from the Department of Bionanoscience in the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience, Delft University of Technology, NL, is about Reconstituting Mitotic Spindle organization

• Different experiments in artificial confinement on microtubule dynamics, their pushing and pulling forces.
• Independent experiments observing the effect on mitotic spindle organization of Dynein, ACE 1 and others, show how microtubule organization and tubulin change when adding or removing them.
