Microtubule assembly and pole coalescence: early steps in Caenorhabditis elegans oocyte meiosis I spindle assembly

How oocytes assemble bipolar meiotic spindles in the absence of centrosomes as microtubule organizing centers remains poorly understood. We have used live cell imaging in Caenorhabditis elegans to investigate requirements for the nuclear lamina and for conserved regulators of microtubule dynamics du...
