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 ...

Biologists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered how the protein NuSAP safeguards tiny structures ...

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 ...

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 ...

Most knowledge on centrioles has been built by studying dividing animal cells in a narrow group of species, like flies or humans. “Recent technological advances in several fronts allow us to study ...

Mitosis is the process by which the genetic information encoded on chromosomes is equally distributed to two daughter cells, a fundamental feature of all life on earth. Scientists now examine how ...

Biologists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered how the protein NuSAP safeguards tiny structures inside cells called ...
