Newly formed centrioles can spring forth from clouds of pericentriolar material, violating the precise regulation of centriole counting. These observations challenge the long-standing view that ...

Cells contain various specialized structures - such as the nucleus, mitochondria or peroxisomes - known as "organelles''. Tracing their genesis and determining their structure is fundamental to ...

Centrioles are surrounded by pericentriolar material (PCM), which is proposed to promote new centriole assembly by concentrating γ-tubulin. Here, we quantitatively monitor new centriole assembly in ...

Centrosomes serve as the principal microtubule organising centres in animal cells, playing a pivotal role in orchestrating cell division, ensuring accurate chromosome segregation and maintaining ...
