摘要
An investigation of how mitotic spindle size scales with cell size in early zebrafish embryos reveals fundamental principles of spindle organization. Spindle size depends primarily on microtubule number, which is regulated by a reaction-diffusion system when cells are large, and by signals from the plasma membrane when they are small.
