Scientists at EPFL have developed CenSpark, a fluorescent probe that makes centrioles and cilia visible inside living cells, helping researchers study cell division, development, and immunity like ...

Cells contain various specialized structures—such as the nucleus, mitochondria or peroxisomes—known as "organelles." Tracing their genesis and determining their structure is fundamental to ...

Centrioles, organelles that organize the microtubule spindle required for cell division, duplicate at almost exactly the same time that DNA replicates during the cell cycle. New research points to how ...

Centrioles, the barrel-shaped organelles best known for their role in cell division, may also put their stamp on early embryos. In a newly fertilized embryo, the centrioles that are present come ...
