Centrioles, organelles that organize the microtubule spindle required for cell division, duplicate at almost exactly the same time that DNA replicates during the cell cycle. New research points to ...

At the beginning of nuclear division, two wheel-shaped protein structures called centrioles position themselves at opposite ends of the cell forming cell poles. Long protein fibers called ...

This is especially true near the center of the cell, the location of the centrioles near the nucleus. This is a great time to introduce the three categories of cytoskeletal components: microfilaments, ...

TEDC1 and TEDC2, functions in generating centriolar triplet microtubules, and that this is crucial for the proper formation of centriolar subdomains and the stability of centrioles throughout the cell ...
