n. pl. mi·to·ses (-sēz) Biology
1. The process in cell division by which the nucleus divides, typically consisting of four stages, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, and normally resulting in two new nuclei, each of which contains a complete copy of the parental chromosomes. Also called karyokinesis.
2. The entire process of cell division including division of the nucleus and the cytoplasm.

Stochastic mode of organelles distribution in daughter cells has been shown to occur through mitotic spindles like hitch-hiking with chromosomes.2 The question arises: where do the organelles disappear during different phases of cell cycle leaving an open space for the drama of cell division to occur?
Where have all the cell organelles gone during the cell division?
Currently, Ki-67 proliferation index, either by manual examination or digital image analysis of Ki-67 immunohistochemistry, is not implemented for classification, in contrast to the GEP NETs that are classified as grade 1, 2, or 3, on the basis of mitotic count and Ki-67 labeling index (LI).
