For almost a century, our understanding of the tiny structure at the centre of the cell called the centrosome was limited to its ability to organize mitotic spindles and other microtubule arrays.

The centrosome is a small, non-membrane-bound organelle endowed with the remarkable capacity to nucleate and organize microtubules. It consists of a pair of centrioles — structures analogous to ...
