Centrioles, organelles that organize the microtubule spindle required for cell division, duplicate at almost exactly the same time that DNA replicates during the cell cycle. New research points to ...

The centrioles are now at opposite ends of the cell. The spindle fibers from both of the centrioles attach to each one of the chromosomes. Same as in mitosis, except that the spindle fibers from ...

At the beginning of nuclear division, two wheel-shaped protein structures called centrioles position themselves at opposite ends of the cell forming cell poles. Long protein fibers called ...

This is especially true near the center of the cell, the location of the centrioles near the nucleus. This is a great time to introduce the three categories of cytoskeletal components: microfilaments, ...

The goal of my research is to understand the biogenesis of centrioles/centrosomes and primary cilia, and how defects in these processes affect mammalian cell physiology and evoke stress responses.

Each copy is called a chromatid. A spindle begins to form from the centrioles. This spindle is made of fibers. The centrioles begin to separate. The activities are the same as in mitosis ...
