Open sesame: how transition fibers and the transition zone control ciliary composition

FR Garcia-Gonzalo, JF Reiter - Cold Spring Harbor …, 2017 - cshperspectives.cshlp.org
Cilia are plasma membrane protrusions that act as cellular propellers or antennae. To
perform these functions, cilia must maintain a composition distinct from those of the …
