Dynamic centriolar localization of Polo and Centrobin in early mitosis primes centrosome asymmetry.

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2020
Centrosomes, the main microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs) of metazoan cells, contain an older "mother" and a younger "daughter" centriole. Stem cells either inherit the mother or daughter-centriole-containing centrosome, providing a possible mechanism

PPP1R35 is a novel centrosomal protein that regulates centriole length in concert with the microcephaly protein RTTN

open access: yeseLife, 2018
Centrosome structure, function, and number are finely regulated at the cellular level to ensure normal mammalian development. Here, we characterize PPP1R35 as a novel bona fide centrosomal protein and demonstrate that it is critical for centriole ...

Cilia in Nervous System Development, Function, and Disease

open access: yesMedComm – Future Medicine, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
Cilia are evolutionarily conserved organelles that function as essential sensory and motility platforms in the nervous system. This review outlines key cilia‐dependent signaling pathways and their roles in neural development and function. Furthermore, it highlights how ciliary dysfunction can lead to a variety of neurological disorders, known as ...

Centriole Amplification in Zebrafish Affects Proliferation and Survival but Not Differentiation of Neural Progenitor Cells

open access: yesCell Reports, 2015
In animal cells, supernumerary centrosomes, resulting from centriole amplification, cause mitotic aberrations and have been associated with diseases, including microcephaly and cancer.

Monoclonal Antibodies Accessing the Cytosol of Living Cells and Binding to Polo‐Like Kinase 1 Interdomain Linker Affect Mitotic Behavior

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 9, 14 May 2026.
Monoclonal antibodies targeting the interdomain region of polo‐like kinase 1 (PLK1) were delivered into living HeLa cells by electroporation to directly modulate mitotic progression. This intracellular antibody approach provides a new tool to probe PLK1 function and highlights the potential of antibodies to regulate key mitotic regulators inside cells.

Production of Basal Bodies in bulk for dense multicilia formation [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2016
Centriole number is normally under tight control and is directly linked to ciliogenesis. In cells that use centrosomes as mitotic spindle poles, one pre-existing mother centriole is allowed to duplicate only one daughter centriole per cell cycle.

Cell Cycle‐Specific Regulation of Centrosome Clustering Dynamics in Cancer Cells by the Multifunctional Kinesin HSET

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
CDK5RAP2 associates with the kinesin HSET and forms co‐condensates. HSET motors drive the directional transport of CDK5RAP2 condensates toward microtubule minus ends. During mitosis, HSET self‐assembly further stabilizes clustered centrosomes, thereby enabling pseudo‐bipolar spindle formation in cancer cells with supernumerary centrosomes. Upon mitotic

Stabilization of Cartwheel-less Centrioles for Duplication Requires CEP295-Mediated Centriole-to-Centrosome Conversion

open access: yesCell Reports, 2014
Vertebrate centrioles lose their geometric scaffold, the cartwheel, during mitosis, concurrently with gaining the ability to recruit the pericentriolar material (PCM) and thereby function as the centrosome.

The mother centriole plays an instructive role in defining cell geometry.

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2007
Centriole positioning is a key step in establishment and propagation of cell geometry, but the mechanism of this positioning is unknown. The ability of pre-existing centrioles to induce formation of new centrioles at a defined angle relative to ...

Atypical Centrioles During Sexual Reproduction

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2015
Centrioles are conserved, self-replicating, microtubule-based 9-fold symmetric subcellular organelles that are essential for proper cell division and function.
