Coupled oscillation as the basis for synchronisation. a Live imaging shows synchronised mitotic rounding in cultured neural progenitor cells with partial synchronisation of cell cycle. b Oscillating pendulums move in a synchronised manner subsequent to installation of a weak coupler (orange spring). c Similar to coupled pendulums, coupled cycling cells enter mitosis in a synchronised manner
