Mitotic cells adapt to osmotic shocks. In this figure, we model the experiments of Stewart et al. (11), where metaphase cells are subjected to osmotic shocks. (a) A hypotonic shock is introduced at t = 6 min followed by a hypertonic shock at t = 18 min. The blue and red curves are two wave forms of the osmotic shock. (b–j) The response of the cell. Parameters are summarized in Table 1.
