Fibrogranular materials function as organizers to ensure the fidelity of multiciliary assembly

Multicilia are complex, and how they achieve accurate assembly is unclear. Here, the authors show that fibrogranular materials condense into spherical cores and function in multicilia formation by tightly associating with deuterosomes and concentrating specific proteins to promote proper assembly.
