Centrosomes are essential organelles in cells that play a critical role in organizing microtubules, which are structural components that help maintain cell shape and facilitate cell division.

For almost a century, our understanding of the tiny structure at the centre of the cell called the centrosome was limited to its ability to organize mitotic spindles and other microtubule arrays.

Encourage students to propose an explanation for how the chromosomes moved toward the center of the cell. Have them compare the images from prometaphase and metaphase and identify differences that ...

A recent Cell Reports paper by the Oxenius group (IMB) demonstrates a function of targeted centrosome inheritance during CD8 + T cell division for the generation of memory precursor cells.

In animal cells, centrioles also form the core of the centrosome or microtubule-organizing center (MTOC), which is often located near the cell center, away from the surface. It is thus unclear why ...
