The animal cell's primary microtubule-organizing centre, the centrosome, contains a pair of centrioles surrounded by pericentriolar material (PCM). As the number of centriole pairs determines the ...

The two centrioles together with their associated pericentriolar material constitute the ‘centrosome’. In motile animal cells, such as fibroblasts or macrophages, the centrosome typically ...

Centriole to centrosome conversion, essential for centriole segregation via spindle poles Centrioles nucleate ciliogenesis at the cell surface. In animal cells, centrioles also form the core of the ...
