How do cells physically divide? Successful mitosis requires coordinated cortical dynamics that mechanically drive cell morphological changes in space and time. Yet, the field lacks a unified, quantitative description of such physical processes due to limitations in existing methodologies. Here, we present live-cell membrane tension measurements during mitosis in mouse embryonic stem cells....
