Keeping centrioles in check to ensure proper cell division
Their results are published in the journal Current Biology today. Centrioles — orchestrators of cell division When our cells divide, their genetic material — in the form of X-shaped chromosomes — is aligned in the middle of the cell and segregated to opposite poles of the cell by a spindle of long tubular fibers, so-called microtubules. The structures that organize the two poles of the spindle in animal cells are called centrosomes…
