Stir it up: The role of actin in mitochondrial mixing during mitosis

Dev Cell. 2021 Apr 19;56(8):1080-1082. doi: 10.1016/j.devcel.2021.03.028.

Abstract

During symmetric cell division, it is important that daughter cells receive not only equal genetic information, but also equal allocations of organelles. Recently, in Nature,Moore et al. (2021) identify three complementary F-actin networks that help ensure proper mixing and distribution of functionally equivalent mitochondria to daughter cells.
