Centrioles/basal bodies (CBBs) are microtubule-based cylindrical organelles that nucleate
the formation of centrosomes, cilia, and flagella. CBBs, cilia, and flagella are ancestral …

Centrosomes, which were first described in the late 19th century, are found in most animal
cells and undergo duplication once every cell cycle so that their number remains stable, like …

The distal appendages (DAPs) of centrioles have been proposed to anchor cilia to the
plasma membrane, but their molecular composition, assembly, and exact function in …

Cell Movements vividly describes how complex movements can arise from the properties
and behaviors of biological molecules. This second edition is updated throughout with …

As the main microtubule-organizing centre in animal cells, the centrosome has a
fundamental role in cell function. Surrounding the centrioles, the pericentriolar material …

The poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) family of proteins use NAD+ as their substrate to
modify acceptor proteins with ADP-ribose modifications. The function of most PARPs under …

We show that overexpression of Polo-like kinase 4 (Plk4) in human cells induces
centrosome amplification through the simultaneous generation of multiple procentrioles …

Asymmetric divisions of radial glia progenitors produce self-renewing radial glia and
differentiating cells simultaneously in the ventricular zone (VZ) of the developing neocortex …

Primary cilia (PC) function as microtubule-based sensory antennae projecting from the
surface of many eukaryotic cells. They play important roles in mechano-and chemosensory …

The centriole is an evolutionarily conserved macromolecular structure that is crucial for the
formation of flagella, cilia and centrosomes. The ultrastructure of the centriole was first …
