The paper is finally up at PLoS Genetics, congrats to everyone involved! You can check out the study titled “Rab8, Rab11, and Rab35 coordinate lumen and cilia formation during zebrafish left-right organizer development” here.

Figure 1 from the study that argues Left-Right Organizer cells start making cilia before they start assembling a lumen! This observations was first found by undergraduate Julie Manikas, who is an author on the study. Check it out!
