title: Cell division: mid-level management.
abstract: When a fission yeast cell divides, the anillin-like protein mid1p helps to position the contractile ring in the cell middle. Recent experiments from two groups have shown how the cell-polarity factor pom1p negatively regulates the distribution of mid1p.
