The mitotic spindle is chiral due to torques within microtubule bundles
Forces are required for congression of chromosomes by microtubule spindles. Here, using super-resolution microscopy and computational modelling, the authors find that in addition to forces, torques caused by the microtubule motor protein kinesin-5 induce chirality and curves into the spindle.
