Abstract

Esoteric organelles called deuterosomes have been implicated in the explosive production of hundreds of basal bodies in multiciliated cells (MCCs). A new study by Meunier, Holland, and colleagues now shows that deuterosomes are dispensable, re-igniting the quest for mechanisms driving basal body biogenesis in this specialized ciliated cell type.<br /> (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Ltd.
