Actomyosin-dependent cortical dynamics contributes to the prophase force-balance in the early Drosophila embryo.
The assembly of the Drosophila embryo mitotic spindle during prophase depends upon a balance of outward forces generated by cortical dynein and inward forces generated by kinesin-14 and nuclear elasticity. Myosin II is known to contribute to the dynamics of the cell cortex but how this influences th...
