Abstract
Summary A new study reports that dynamic actin fibers in cells on circular islands self-organize into a swirling counter-clockwise pattern and describes a basic cytoskeletal mechanism for the establishment of left-right asymmetry that is based on myosin contraction and twisting of the formin-actin filament.
