title: Cytoskeleton: septins do the horizontal tango.
abstract: Septins are a family of membrane-associated filamentous proteins that are essential in many biological processes, such as cell division. A recent study has provided the first visualization of septin filament formation in real time, leading to important new insights into their organization.
