Preface The final stage of the eukaryotic cell cycle is cytokinesis, when a mother cell is separated into two cells by a contractile actomyosin ring. This contractile ring is normally assembled in the middle of the cell and is linked to the plasma membrane such that, when it constricts, it creates a cleavage furrow that partitions the cell in two. The process is conserved between fungi and animals. Defects in the placement, timing, assembly, and contraction
