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.

Using laser microsurgery and cell fusion we have explored how additional centrosomes and/or chromosomes influence the duration of mitosis in human cells. We found that doubling the chromosome number ...

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. More than 100 years ago, scientists ...

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 ...

Unseen and ongoing, thousands of times every second: to keep a complex organism like humans alive, an immense number of new cells must be continuously produced. Up close, each of these cell divisions ...

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 ...

The paper M.S. Levine et al., “Centrosome amplification is sufficient to promote spontaneous tumorigenesis in mammals,” Dev Cell, 40:313-22, 2017. Three’s a crowd More than a century ago, the German ...

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.

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 ...

Non Adherence to Post Surgery Annual Surveilance Mammogram and Follow Up Among Breast Cancer Survivors in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Malaysia Modern chemotherapeutics frequently suffer from selective ...

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 ...

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 ...
