Mitotic dynamics.
A new model for mitotic dynamics of eukaryotic cells is proposed. In the kinetochore motor-midzone motor model two kinds of motors, the kinetochore motors and the midzone motors, play important roles in chromosome movement. Using this model the chromosome congression during prometaphase, the chromosome oscillation during metaphase and the chromatic segregation during anaphase are described in a unified way.
