This article needs to be cleaned up a little. Piotrr 01:07, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
I don't know the code to make it look nice, but IFT can also stand for Inverse function theorem. I've noted that in the article, but there's probably a better way... 137.205.33.130 23:34, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Plasmodium falciparum
This mechanism has now become a focus of attention, as discussed in some detail here. It is of particular note that apparently a Jekely and Arendt (2006) cilium evolution paper p. 193 describes Plasmodium falciparum as an exception that lacks IFT – "species with cilia that do not rely on IFT (in the parasite Plasmodium cilia assemble in the cytoplasm(48))". It would seem appropriate to describe this alternative way of assembling cilia in the body text, but since I don't have access to this paper it would be best if someone more knowledgeable could add that. .. dave souza, talk 09:39, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
I think this information would be better placed on the articles about cilia and flagella themselves. That IFT is found in "most" organisms is enough - I don't think we need a list of all the animals that DON'T have it. --AaronM 18:18, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
