Centrosomes, which are composed of two centrioles and pericentriolar material, serve as the main microtubule-organizing centre in animal cells. They duplicate once per cell cycle so that each daughter ...

The centrosome has been a subject of fascination for cell biologists for at least a century. It is at the centre of the cell and is the structure on which microtubules organize themselves both during ...

Research led by Mark Alliegro, PhD, Professor of Cell Biology and Anatomy at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center at New Orleans, provides evidence for the first time that centrosomes, ...

MBL, WOODS HOLE, MA--Despite more than a century of study, scientists know relatively little about the inner workings of centrosomes--organelles essential to cell division in humans and animals. Now ...

Centrosomes are small structures in cells with many essential functions, including roles in cell signaling and in organizing a cell’s cytoskeleton. Centrosome dysfunction contributes to diseases like ...

New research by scientists studying surf clams at the MBL (Marine Biological Laboratory) shows that centrosomes may contain ribonucleic acid (RNA), the molecule that translates genes into proteins.

A recent Cell Reports paper by the Oxenius group (IMB) demonstrates a function of targeted centrosome inheritance during CD8+ T cell division for the generation of memory precursor cells.

The origin recognition complex (ORC) is a DNA replication initiator protein also known to be involved in diverse cellular functions including gene silencing, sister chromatid cohesion, telomere ...

Tampa, Fla. (March 3, 2015) - A University of South Florida College of Public Health professor and his team of researchers have become the first to uncover part of the mysterious process by which ...
