Our newest manuscript "Counting actin in contractile rings reveals novel contributions of cofilin and type II myosins to fission yeast cytokinesis. "has just been accepted by Molecular Biology of the Cell. Congratulations to Mamata! In this paper, we showed through counting actin molecules during cytokinesis that cofilin is important for the stability of the contractile ring but it is myosin II that disassembles the actin filaments in the ring.
