title: Chromosome segregation: organizing overlap at the midzone.
abstract: Sets of overlapping microtubules support the segregation of chromosomes by linking the poles of mitotic spindles. Recent work examines the effect of putting these linkages under pressure by the activation of dicentric chromosomes and sheds new light on the structural role of several well-known spindle midzone proteins.
