Centrosomes are in fact not "one type fits all" In close collaboration with the Helmholtz Munich Proteomic Core Facility led by Stefanie Hauck, the researchers found that the composition of proteins ...

Centrosomes are small structures in cells with many essential functions, including roles in cell signaling and in organizing a cell’s cytoskeleton. Centrosome dysfunction contributes to diseases like ...

When cells extend, move, or divide, a tiny organelle called the centrosome provides a cytoskeletal anchor and regulatory hub. It was long held that centrosomes are similar in composition across cells.
