Description:
Cell biology: Calcium contradictions in cilia Nature 531, 7596 (2016). doi:10.1038/nature17313 Authors: Dominic P. Norris & Peter K. Jackson Organelles called primary cilia that protrude from cells have been thought to sense the surrounding environment through calcium-channel proteins that respond to force. Two scientists discuss the implications for developmental biology and kidney disease of a study that challenges this hypothesis. See Letter p.656
