Plant and animal cells are both extremely important to the survival of millions of species and without them, life couldn’t ...

This unique approach, which combines the very high resolution of expansion microscopy and kinematic reconstruction, has enabled us to model the first 4D assembly of the human centriole.

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. This ...

This unique approach, which combines the very high resolution of expansion microscopy and kinematic reconstruction, has enabled us to model the first 4D assembly of the human centriole.

The centriole plays a central role in assembly of the microtubule cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells. Its characteristic cylindrical structure defines the 9 + 2 pattern of ciliary and flagellar axonemes ...

Centriole rotational asymmetry, a structural property necessary for cytoskeletal organization in unicellular eukaryotes, is broadly conserved in the centrioles of human cells.

In addition, centriole are required to build cilia, hair-like extensions on the cell surface that allow cells to receive and respond to signals from the outside.
