title: Primary cilia bend LKB1 and mTOR to their will.
abstract: Primary cilia are cell surface organelles that act as sensory antennae for various input signals. In a recent issue of Nature Cell Biology, Boehlke et al. (2010) demonstrate that bending of cilia regulates cell size through a signaling pathway involving the LKB1 and mTOR kinases.
