Self-organization of stabilized microtubules by both spindle and midzone mechanisms in Xenopus egg cytosol

Pineapples, or self-organized, Taxol-stabilized microtubule assemblies, reveal the richness of self-organizing mechanisms that operate on assembled microtubules during cell division and provide a biochemically tractable system for investigating these mechanisms during meiosis and cytokinesis.
