Function of nodal cilia in left-right determination: Mechanical regulation in initiation of symmetry breaking
Visceral organs in vertebrates are arranged with left-right asymmetry; for example, the heart is located on the left side of the body. Cilia at the node of mouse early embryos play an essential role in determining this left-right asymmetry. Using information from the anteroposterior axis, motile cil...
