Cancers of Many Kinds Give Centriole Amplification Starring Role

Scientists say they have discovered critical features of cancer cells that may help clinicians better fight the disease. The researchers found that the number and size of centrioles are increased in the most aggressive subtypes of cancer. Their study (“ Over-Elongation of Centrioles in Cancer Promotes Centriole Amplification and Chromosome Missegregation ”) appears in  Nature Communications.“Centrosomes are the major microtubule organising centers of animal cells
