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.

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.

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.
