Abstract
Cilia are membrane-surrounded sensory cellular organelles that can also create motion to move fluids or propel the cell to which they are attached. New work shows that, whereas transition fibers are essential for cilia attachment to the membrane in most systems studied, transition fibers in Drosophila are only involved in cilia extension after docking.
