Tug-of-war between actomyosin-driven antagonistic forces determines the positioning symmetry in cell-sized confinement

Symmetric or asymmetric positioning of intracellular structures such as the nucleus and mitotic spindle steers various biological processes. Here authors use an in vitro model and show that a tug-of-war between centripetal actomyosin waves and percolation of bulk actomyosin network direct the positi...
