title: Don't Go with the Cytoplasmic Flow.
abstract: Cytoplasmic streaming occurs in a variety of organisms, but its biological function is often unclear. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Pieuchot et al. (2015) report that streaming creates subcellular compartments in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa. Nuclei immobilized within these compartments differentiate and may drive a compartment-specific genetic program.
