Left-right asymmetry: actin-myosin through the looking glass.

Current biology : CB - 11 Jul 2006

Baum Buzz

Abstract excerpt

Despite being bilaterally symmetric, most Metazoa exhibit clear, genetically determined left-right differences. In several animals, microtubule-based structures are thought to be the source of chiral information used to establish handedness. Now, two new studies in Drosophila identify a role for unconventional myosin motors in this process.
