title: Cytokinesis: rho and formins are the ringleaders.
abstract: Although cytokinesis was first described in the 1830s, the molecular events underlying this key cellular process remain elusive. New results reveal a role for actin polymerization, the small GTPase Rho and formins in cytokinetic ring assembly.
