Myosin-II puts the squeeze on asymmetric cell division.

Rong Li1.   

Abstract

Asymmetric cell division--where two dissimilar daughter cells are produced--relies on asymmetric positioning of the telophase spindle midzone, which specifies the cleavage furrow. Ou et al. (2010) now report in Science a mechanism of asymmetric midzone positioning driven by a polarized cortical distribution of the contractile motor myosin-II.
