Abstract: On cells with motile cilia, cilia not only generate flow along a specific axis, but are involved in sensing and responding to that flow in a way that influences cell polarity. This model suggests a new paradigm for how polarity can be generated in a developing tissue, which will be of general interest to all developmental biologists.
