Although chromosome partitioning during mitosis is well studied, the molecular mechanisms that allow proper segregation of cytoplasmic organelles in human cells are poorly understood. I will present a mechanism by which mitochondria are transported towards the daughter cell periphery at the end of mitosis. This mechanism involves the mitochondrial protein Miro and the mitotic cytoskeletal protein Cenp‐F.
