title: A kinesin in command of primary ciliogenesis.
abstract: Primary cilia sense extracellular cues and in response transmit signals required for development and tissue homeostasis. A new study by Kobayashi et al. (2011) reports that the kinesin Kif24 controls the formation of primary cilia by restricting the nucleation of cilia at centrioles.
