A Pushing Mechanism for Microtubule Aster Positioning in a Large Cell Type
Summary: After fertilization, microtubule (MT) sperm asters undergo long-range migration to accurately position pronuclei. Due to the large sizes of zygotes, the forces driving aster migration are considered to be from pulling on the astral MTs by dynein, with no significant contribution from pushin...
