Abstract

In Caenorhabditis elegans oocytes, meiotic spindle movement toward the cortex before anaphase depends on kinesin-1. A recent study by Aquino et al. uncovers a novel mechanism whereby the inward organelle packing driven by kinesin-1 excludes the spindle from the center, thereby causing it to be positioned near the cortex.
