Abstract: The article focuses on the mechanisms of spindle bipolarization in human oocytes, revealing that minor poles formed by microtubule coalescence lead to the generation of multipolar intermediates before bipolar spindles are established. Topics include the role of specific proteins like HAUS6, KIF11, and KIF18A in spindle bipolarization, the identification of these proteins' mutations affecting oocyte maturation, and the detailed process of how minor poles contribute to spindle formation.
