Fast mechanosensitive and Ca2+-dependent reorientation of motile cilia basal bodies in the placozoan Trichoplax: Current Biology www.cell.com/current-biol...
Leria et al. show that mechanical cues trigger Ca²⁺-dependent, coordinated, and fast
reorientation of the ciliary basal bodies in Trichoplax. This enables swift changes
in ciliary beat direction and t...
