The centrosome has been a subject of fascination for cell biologists for at least a century. It is at the centre of the cell and is the structure on which microtubules organize themselves both ...

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.

Each centrosome pushes the chromosome from each side until they ... length of the cell not attached to chromosomes), how might these structures affect the cell structure – as a preview of anaphase?

Just before division, two complex protein structures, known as centrosomes, emerge, forming two opposing poles in the mother cell. These centrosomes grow long protein filaments, the spindle ...
