Cortical Contractility

Cortical Contractility is a biophysical mechanism, within the broader class of cellular mechanical processes, that specifically governs the generation of actomyosin-based tension at the cell cortex to drive cytoplasmic division through localized, regulated contractions of the cortical cytoskeleton.
