Cells contain various specialized structures—such as the nucleus, mitochondria or peroxisomes—known as "organelles." Tracing ...

UNIGE scientists have reconstructed for the first time a film of the assembly of the human centriole, one of the essential ...

Scientists at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have combined high-resolution microscopy and kinematic reconstruction techniques to visualize, in motion, the genesis of the human centriole.

Two recent studies in Drosophila demonstrate that overexpression of proteins required for centriole duplication can not only induce centriole over-duplication in cells containing centrioles ...

New research points to how these replication processes may be coordinated. Centriole cylinders are made up of nine microtubule triplets, which are attached to each other by a fibrogranular material.

Scientists at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have combined high resolution microscopy and kinematic reconstruction techniques to visualise, in motion, the genesis of the human centriole.

Same as in mitosis, except that the spindle fibers from each centriole attach to one chromosome of a matching chromosome pair. In other words, the fibers from one centriole attach to 23 ...

Centriole assembly requires a small number of conserved proteins. The precise pathway of centriole assembly has been difficult to study, as the lack of any one of the core assembly proteins—Plk4, Ana2 ...

Ces travaux, à lire dans la revue Cell, permettent d’élucider les complexités de l’assemblage du centriole. Ils ouvrent également de nombreuses perspectives pour l’étude des autres ...
