Simulation of the aster migration
| Organism | : | Ascidian |
|---|---|---|
| Species | : | Phallusia mammillata |
| Description | : | 2D simulation of the aster migration from mid-meiosis to mitosis. The aster core (centrosome) is represented by a purple dot at the center of the MTs structure. MTs (in white), are set to become more stable in interphase and when they touch the cortex. The purple cell border illustrates the activity of cortical dyneins, and thus an active cortical pulling, also indicating interphase. The many grey dots represent fixed dyneins and thus the presence of cytoplasmic pulling in the cell. They become green when attached to MTs. |
