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 ...

Two recent studies in Drosophila demonstrate that overexpression of proteins required for centriole duplication can not only induce centriole over-duplication in cells containing centrioles ...

Interphase is the period between cell divisions ... The chromosomes are loosely packed and not visible with a microscope. Two pair of centrioles lie just outside the nucleus, next to each other.
