Flagella and cilia: the long and the short of it.
Intraflagellar transport is essential for the assembly and function of cilia and flagella, and recent work shows that intraflagellar transport complexes - or trains - fall into two classes according to length and morphology. How might intraflagellar transport and the size of the trains be involved in flagellar and ciliary length control?
