title: Making a Division Apparatus on Mitochondria.
abstract: Mitochondrial division apparatuses are generally thought to form by oligomerization of Drp1 at pre-determined sites on mitochondria. A recent study by Ji et al. now shows that the Drp1 oligomers on mitochondria move, merge, and mature into a functional division apparatus.
