Stay tuned! It is an exciting era for the biology of cilia and flagella: Report on the FASEB summer research conference on the Biology of Cilia and Flagella. August 4-9, Vermont Academy, USA

摘要

Cilia and flagella are ubiquitous organelles in eukaryotic cells where they perform both sensory and motile functions. Many scientific papers published recently start with this sentence or have it in their introduction: Are scientists losing their creativity? There is another explanation: the plethora of new and exciting data published recently on the biology of cilia and flagella including results on the pivotal role of the primary cilium in development, and their involvement in many diseases, are focusing the attention of an increasing number of laboratories.
