The centrosome is the major microtubule-organizing centre (MTOC) in eukaryotic cells, being comprised of two centrioles surrounded by an electron-dense matrix, the pericentriolar material (PCM). The ...

The centrosome has been a subject of fascination for cell biologists for at least a century. It is at the centre of the cell and is the structure on which microtubules organize themselves both during ...

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 ...
