Vol. 211, Issue 5: etoc 2

Scanning electron microscopy shows that, compared to a control (left), multi-ciliated cells in the Xenopus epidermis form fewer cilia in the absence of NPHP4 (right). Yasunaga et al. describe how, by forming a complex with Inturned and the formin DAAM1, NPHP4 organizes the subapical actin cytoskeleton and promotes cilia assembly and function.
