Spindle Polarity

Spindle Polarity is a biological phenomenon defined as the asymmetric organization of the mitotic spindle along a specific axis, distinguished by the spatial segregation of microtubule-organizing centers and associated regulatory proteins that direct the orientation and fidelity of cell division.
