Abstract

The regular position of spindle poles in bi- and multipolar cell divisions is interpreted as the result of expanding caps on the surface of cell nuclei first proposed by Mazia in 1986. In a computer model it is shown that expanding caps position their centers with the maximal distance between them, which is in complete accordance with findings in experimentally influenced cell divisions in which multiple poles are formed.
