Making sense of cilia: The role of intraflagellar transport

PLoS Biol. 2024 Nov 27;22(11):e3002924. doi: 10.1371/journal.pbio.3002924. eCollection 2024 Nov.

Abstract

Intraflagellar transport (IFT) is essential for both ciliary structure and function. A new study in PLOS Biology reveals how IFT-mediated trafficking and ciliary morphology differentially influence chemosensory responses between neuronal types and among co-expressed receptors.
