Specific polar subpopulations of astral microtubules control spindle orientation and symmetric neural stem cell division

Mitotic spindle orientation is crucial for symmetric vs asymmetric cell division and depends on astral microtubules. Here, we show that distinct subpopulations of astral microtubules exist, which have differential functions in regulating spindle orientation and division symmetry. Specifically, in po...
