The mitotic spindle is a complex, dynamic machine important for cell division. The spindle is composed of a network of microtubules  and motor proteins that generate forces to form a bipolar spindle, with each pole organized around a single centrosome. Disruption in force generating activities through protein depletions or alterations to centrosome number, alter spindle…
