The Centrosome in Cells and Organisms

Bornens, Michel·2012·Science

Abstract

Centrosome Center Stage?: The centrosome is a major organizer of the cytoskeleton in animal cells. The precise duplication of this organelle at each cell cycle ensures proper organization of the mitotic apparatus and chromosome segregation. However, centrosomes are dispensable for cell division during some stages of development in mouse and Drosophila . Bornens (p. 422 ) reviews the role of the centrosome in a variety of organisms and discusses how and why they can be dispensed with on occasion. In this vein, Azimzadeh et al. (p. 461 , published online 5 January) now demonstrate that centrosomes in Planarian flatworms, best known for their remarkable regeneration abilities, are completely dispensable for both cell division and development.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
