摘要：

Large groups of microtubules are observed to undergo coherent oscillations in length. This process is suspected to be important to the mechanism of cell division. We propose a model, related to the bounded-unbounded transition of microtubules proposed by M. Dogterom and S. Leibler [Phys. Rev. Lett. 70, 1347 (1993)], which is in good agreement with experiments.
