title: Morphogenesis: a Mob rules from the rear.
abstract: The giant ciliated protozoan Stentor coeruleus is re-emerging as a model organism for morphogenesis and patterning in unicellular organisms. A new study provides evidence that cytokinesis and morphogenesis are mechanistically linked through the Mob1 protein.
