For almost a century, our understanding of the tiny structure at the centre of the cell called the centrosome was limited to its ability to organize mitotic spindles and other microtubule arrays.

R. Basto et al., “Centrosome amplification can initiate tumorigenesis in flies,” Cell, 133:1032–42, 2008. (Cited in 32 papers) Tumor cells display both chromosomal instability and centrosome ...

Centrosomes are in fact not "one type fits all" In close collaboration with the Helmholtz Munich Proteomic Core Facility led by Stefanie Hauck, the researchers found that the composition of proteins ...

When a cell is dividing, two identical structures, called centrosomes, move to opposite sides of the cell to help separate its chromosomes into the new cells. When a cell is dividing, two identical ...

Centrosome abnormalities are linked to genomic instability and are considered one possible cause of cancer. A recent study shows that 'abnormal' inactive centrosomes thought to be deleterious to cells ...

When cells extend, move, or divide, a tiny organelle called the centrosome provides a cytoskeletal anchor and regulatory hub. It was long held that centrosomes are similar in composition across cells.

During cell division, centrosomes help properly distribute chromosomes. When chromosome distribution goes wrong, each new cell inherits either too many or too few chromosomes. Holland says the ...

An MUSC Hollings Cancer Center research team has identified a protein that helps cancer cells to organize themselves in a way that allows them to successfully navigate the cell division process ...

The centrosome is the organelle responsible for the organization of the cytoskeleton during cell division, an essential function in organisms from yeast to humans. Until now, scientists assumed that ...
