Abstract
Nodal flow orients the left-right axis in some vertebrates, and is generated by clockwise-rotating cilia that are tilted posteriorly. In a recent paper, Song et al. add to mounting evidence that the planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway coordinates posterior positioning of cilia and subsequent determination of left-right asymmetry.
