Abstract

As cell size decreases during the reductive divisions of early development, intracellular structures must shrink to fit. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Lacroix et al. (2018) identify a conserved mechanism of spindle scaling in nematode and sea urchin embryos whereby spindle microtubule polymerization rates decrease as development proceeds.
