title: The inner compass of spindle positioning and orientation.
abstract: Polarized cortical cues are known to guide spindle movements to dictate division axis and cleavage site during asymmetric cell division. In a recent issue of Nature Cell Biology, Kiyomitsu and Cheeseman (2012) report two novel spindle-intrinsic signals that regulate spindle orientation and position in symmetrically dividing human cells.
