Many fundamental phenomena in eukaryotic cells — nuclear migration, spindle positioning, chromosome segregation — involve the interaction of (often transitory) mechanical structures with boundaries and fluids. I
will discuss the recent interactions of mathematical modeling and simulation with experimental measurements of active biomechanical processes within the cell.
