    Computational modeling recapitulate experimentally observed MP tilt with increasing confinement. a) (i, ii) Representative images of fixed unconfined and confined cells with top ( xy ), side ( yz ), and front ( xz ) views shown, actin, histone H2B, and fibronectin are shown in red, cyan, and green to identify the cell cortex, MP, and the fibers, respectively. Scale bars are 10 µm. (iii) MP tilt as a function of the extent of confinement ( h / H ). Inset images show front and side views of fixed unconfined ( h / H ∼0.1) and confined ( h / H ∼0.5) cells. The angle is measured from a normal drawn to the fiber axis (green dashed lines shown for confined and unconfined cases) ( N = 10, n = 73). Scale bars are 10 µm. b) (i) Schematic showing the quantification of the RF coverage. (ii) RF coverage decreases with h / H . Inset images showing RF organization in representative front views of fixed, confined and unconfined cells. Scale bars are 10 µm ( N = 5, n = 44). c) (i) Intensity heat map demonstrating the average projection of yz side views in actin-stained cells. Scale bars are 10 µm. Band-like arrangement emerges for RF organization in confined cells, while unconfined cells have triangular forms of RF regions that extends downwards from the mid-cortical level, corresponding adopted RF regions for the computational simulations. (ii) Computational model of the mitotic cell between the two external fibers (marked in green). CSs attract each other ( f CS - CS ) or KTs ( f CS - KT ) and are attracted to the cortex region devoid of RFs ( f CS − CRTX ) or coupled to RFs ( f CS − RF ). CSs repel CH arms ( f CS − CH ). All relevant components of the mitotic machinery are marked and indexed below. f CS − RF attraction is considered several times stronger than f CS − CRTX . (iii) Computational data for MP tilt as a function of h / H without cortex deformation, representative snapshots showing the front and side views of spherical unconfined and confined cells. Average MP tilt is estimated from ∼500 simulations with different random initializations for each condition. Error bars represent the SEM measured with respect to the corresponding mean values of the data. Note that crosses in a(iii) and c(iii) show the low and high MP tilt angles observed at high confinement along with representative images. The average of these two angles is plotted in the main figure, and the origin of two configurations is explained in Fig. .

    Mechanical confinement of mitotic cells in fibrous environments. a) (i) Representative 3D isometric views of single fixed mitotic cells on top of fibers (unconfined) or trapped between two fibers (confined), actin (cell cortex), histone H2B (CHs) and the fibers (fibronectin coating) are indicated in red, cyan, and green respectively. Inset cartoons highlight the outward bowing of fibers during ECM confinement. (ii) Representative side views ( yz cross-section) of fixed unconfined and confined cells with the fibers as green dots (yellow arrowheads). H represents the cell height taken at metaphase, and h is the height from the fiber plane to the bottom of the cell. Scale bars are 10 µm. (iii) Histogram showing relative occurrence of the different levels of confinement (quantified by h / H , N = 10, n = 73). (iv) Metaphase cell height increases with confinement ( h / H ) ( R 2 = 0.9, P = 0.0132; N = 10, n = 73). Representative cross-sectional images of fixed mitotic cells with very low h / H (∼0.1) and high h / H (∼0.5). Scale bars are 10 µm. b) (i) Time-lapse images of a representative live mitotic confined cell undergoing cell division. (ii) Nanonet Force Microscopy–based force profiles of confined and unconfined cells transitioning from interphase to mitosis, with inset images showing a live single cell at different stages. By convention, mitosis forces are shown as negative to represent outward deflection of fibers. The dashed rectangle box shows the average force profiles for confined cells rounding during mitosis which is normalized for time taken from NEBD to cytokinesis ( N = 4, n = 23) along with representative top views of fixed cells undergoing various stages of division.

    Computational modeling recapitulate experimentally observed MP tilt with increasing confinement. a) (i, ii) Representative images of fixed unconfined and confined cells with top ( xy ), side ( yz ), and front ( xz ) views shown, actin, histone H2B, and fibronectin are shown in red, cyan, and green to identify the cell cortex, MP, and the fibers, respectively. Scale bars are 10 µm. (iii) MP tilt as a function of the extent of confinement ( h / H ). Inset images show front and side views of fixed unconfined ( h / H ∼0.1) and confined ( h / H ∼0.5) cells. The angle is measured from a normal drawn to the fiber axis (green dashed lines shown for confined and unconfined cases) ( N = 10, n = 73). Scale bars are 10 µm. b) (i) Schematic showing the quantification of the RF coverage. (ii) RF coverage decreases with h / H . Inset images showing RF organization in representative front views of fixed, confined and unconfined cells. Scale bars are 10 µm ( N = 5, n = 44). c) (i) Intensity heat map demonstrating the average projection of yz side views in actin-stained cells. Scale bars are 10 µm. Band-like arrangement emerges for RF organization in confined cells, while unconfined cells have triangular forms of RF regions that extends downwards from the mid-cortical level, corresponding adopted RF regions for the computational simulations. (ii) Computational model of the mitotic cell between the two external fibers (marked in green). CSs attract each other ( f CS - CS ) or KTs ( f CS - KT ) and are attracted to the cortex region devoid of RFs ( f CS − CRTX ) or coupled to RFs ( f CS − RF ). CSs repel CH arms ( f CS − CH ). All relevant components of the mitotic machinery are marked and indexed below. f CS − RF attraction is considered several times stronger than f CS − CRTX . (iii) Computational data for MP tilt as a function of h / H without cortex deformation, representative snapshots showing the front and side views of spherical unconfined and confined cells. Average MP tilt is estimated from ∼500 simulations with different random initializations for each condition. Error bars represent the SEM measured with respect to the corresponding mean values of the data. Note that crosses in a(iii) and c(iii) show the low and high MP tilt angles observed at high confinement along with representative images. The average of these two angles is plotted in the main figure, and the origin of two configurations is explained in Fig. .
