“…Computational modeling has been used previously to study the mitotic spindle [3,4,67]. Recent work on spindle and MT organization includes studies of spindle elongation and force balance [59,68], the formation and maintenance of antiparallel MT overlaps [69,70], MT bundling and sliding [15], spindle movements and positioning [71,72], spindle length and shape [15,51,52,73,74], MT organization [75], and spindle assembly from a bipolar initial condition [32,76].…”
