Cell, 2006•cell.comCilia are specialized structures that not only play diverse roles in cell motility but also
transmit signals to the cytoplasm and nucleus to control gene expression, cell function,
animal development, and behavior. Cilia are assembled and maintained by the intraflagellar
transport (IFT) machinery, which coordinates rapid, bidirectional transport between the cell
body and the distal tip of the cilium. A new study (Wang et al., 2006) illuminates the role of
IFT in cilium-based signaling during mating in the alga Chlamydomonas.
