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 ...

Biologists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered how the protein NuSAP safeguards tiny structures inside cells called centrioles, revealing a mechanism linked to developmental ...

Scientists say they have discovered critical features of cancer cells that may help clinicians better fight the disease. The researchers found that the number and size of centrioles are increased in ...

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.

Centrioles, the barrel-shaped organelles best known for their role in cell division, may also put their stamp on early embryos. In a newly fertilized embryo, the centrioles that are present come ...

Scientists have discover that certain cell structures, the centrioles, could act as information carriers throughout cell generations. The discovery raises the possibility that transmission of ...

All life on earth depends upon the process of mitosis or cell division in which the chromosomal content of a cell is equally divided between two new cells. For mitosis to occur, the chromosomes in ...

In a study published in ACS Nano, researchers from National Taiwan University report a new expansion microscopy strategy ...

EPFL scientists discover that certain cell structures, the centrioles, could act as information carriers throughout cell generations. The discovery raises the possibility that transmission of ...

A two-step recruitment model based on the findings for the CEP57-CEP63-CEP152 complex during a single cell cycle. (A) During S to G2 phase, CEP57 is gradually recruited to the procentriole, crucial ...
