The Power of Strain: Organizing Left-Right Cilia

Publication date: 7 May 2018
Source:Developmental Cell, Volume 45, Issue 3
Author(s): Martin Blum, Tim Ott
Left-right organizers require motile and polarized cilia to break symmetry. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Chien et al. (2018) demonstrate that gastrulation-derived mechanical strain of the precursor tissue orients cilia and is required for cilia lengthening and motility.
