摘要
How actin dynamics might be regulated to generate specific cellular structures during development remains something of a mystery. New insights may be gained from the recent identification of a conserved cofilin phosphatase, Slingshot, which modulates actin dynamics to help control Drosophila wing hair morphogenesis.
