title: Ciliary and nuclear transport: different places, similar routes?
abstract: Cilia and flagella are membrane-sheathed, microtubule-based protrusions that decorate the surface of many eukaryotic cells. At their base, they form a selective barrier that concentrates certain proteins within the cilia but excludes others. Kee et al. (2012) now propose that nuclear pore complex proteins form a fundamental part of this diffusion barrier.
