Abstract: Metaphase spindles exert pole-directed forces on still-connected sister kinetochores. The spindle must counter these forces with extensive forces to prevent spindle collapse. In small spindles, kinetochore microtubules (KMTs) connect directly with the poles, and countering… read more here.
