Interphase progression of the daughter cells with and without spindle midzone. An NRK cell was severed at early anaphase to form daughter cells with and without spindle midzone. Subsequently, time-lapse imaging was performed to investigate if anaphase spindle midzone was involved in interphase progression. The daughter cell with spindle midzone showed a cytokinsis-like cortical contraction and entered into the subsequent mitosis 11 h 23 min after microsurgery, while the daughter cell without spindle midzone showed no cortical contraction and entered into mitosis 23 h 8 min after microsurgery.
