Movie 3

Simulation time series were used to test the ‘aster packing’ model (Equation 1) by increasing aster numbers, NA, while decreasing the aster radius (LMT), for a constant packing fraction ϕ ~ 1.6. The NA per cell are (left to right:) 10, 20 and 40 while the corresponding LMT values are 6, 4.25 and 3 μm, respectively. Kinesin density: 10 motors/μm2, R: 15 μm and total simulation time: 600 s. This video corresponds to Figure 6B in the main text.
