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 cylindrical structures involved in the generation of microtubules—fibers inside of cells that form a network to provide structure and shape to cells and to mediate transport processes.

Centrioles and basal bodies (hereafter referred to as 'centrioles' for simplicity) are essential for the formation of cilia, flagella and centrosomes. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms governing ...

EPFL scientists discover that certain cell structures, the centrioles, could act as information carriers throughout cell generations. The discovery raises the possibility that transmission of ...

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 critical for many cellular processes including cell division and cilia assembly. The number of centrioles within a cell is under strict control, and deregulation of centriole copy ...

Centrioles, the barrel-shaped organelles best known for their role in cell division, may also put their stamp on early embryos. In a newly fertilized embryo, the centrioles that are present come ...

A two-step recruitment model based on the findings for the CEP57-CEP63-CEP152 complex during a single cell cycle. (A) During S to G2 phase, CEP57 is gradually recruited to the procentriole, crucial ...

All life on earth depends upon the process of mitosis or cell division in which the chromosomal content of a cell is equally divided between two new cells. For mitosis to occur, the chromosomes in ...
