Ciliogenesis: polarity proteins on the move.
The formation and maintenance of cilia and flagella require a selective and directed transport along the axoneme, a characteristic central bundle of microtubules. Recent evidence suggests an interesting link between the generation of cilia and the protein complexes that establish apico-basal cell polarity.
