Centrioles are critical for many cellular processes including cell division and cilia assembly. The number of centrioles within a cell is under strict control, and deregulation of centriole copy ...

Planar cell polarity (PCP) signalling is a well-conserved developmental pathway regulating cellular orientation during development. An evolutionarily conserved pathway readout is not established and, ...

EPFL scientists discover that certain cell structures, the centrioles, could act as information carriers throughout cell generations. The discovery raises the possibility that transmission of ...

Centrioles are barrel-shaped structures inside cells, made up of multiple proteins. They are currently the focus of much research, since mutations in the proteins that make them up can cause a broad ...

Centrioles are cylindrical structures involved in the generation of microtubules - fibers inside of cells that form a network to provide structure and shape to cells and to mediate transport processes ...

All life on earth depends upon the process of mitosis or cell division in which the chromosomal content of a cell is equally divided between two new cells. For mitosis to occur, the chromosomes in ...

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 ...

Centrioles are cylindrical structures involved in the generation of microtubules—fibers inside of cells that form a network to provide structure and shape to cells and to mediate transport processes.

Most knowledge on centrioles has been built by studying dividing animal cells in a narrow group of species, like flies or humans. “Recent technological advances in several fronts allow us to study ...

Mitosis is the process by which the genetic information encoded on chromosomes is equally distributed to two daughter cells, a fundamental feature of all life on earth. Scientists now examine how ...

The goal of my research is to understand the biogenesis of centrioles/centrosomes and primary cilia, and how defects in these processes affect mammalian cell physiology and evoke stress responses.
