De novo formation of left-right asymmetry by posterior tilt of nodal cilia.
In the developing mouse embryo, leftward fluid flow on the ventral side of the node determines left-right (L-R) asymmetry. However, the mechanism by which the rotational movement of node cilia can generate a unidirectional flow remains hypothetical. Here we have addressed this question by motion and...
