Centrioles are cylindrical microtubule-based structures, constituting the core of centrosomes — the major microtubule-organizing centres in most animal cells. Centrioles are typically found in pairs, ...

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 ...

This news release is available in German. The duplication of cellular contents and their distribution to two daughter cells during cell division are amongst the most fundamental features of all life ...

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 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.

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 ...

Centriole assembly requires a small number of conserved proteins. The precise pathway of centriole assembly has been difficult to study, as the lack of any one of the core assembly proteins—Plk4, Ana2 ...

Researchers have identified a new structure in human sperm that functions in the zygote and may provide new avenues for addressing male infertility and insights into early embryo developmental defects ...

New findings from a team of investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine have ruled out a mechanism that scientists have long believed controls the number of hairlike structures, called cilia, protruding ...
