Thank you Lendert! ☺️
Thank you Stefano! Theses diferences between flies and fish are super interesting! Maybe worth testing 😁

Cytoplasmic flow is a cell size sensor that scales anaphase - Nature Cell Biology
Afonso et al. show that, during anaphase, chromosome movement can be driven by large cytoplasmic flows. These dynein-dependent cytoplasmic flows scale with cell size, slowing in smaller cells, thereby...

We found cytoplasmic flows, that emerge specifically in anaphase and move chromosomes! We combined experiments and theory to show that flows scale purely by cell confinement and ultimately scale anaphase!
