This study uses 3D in vitro models to investigate centriole and cilium formation in early mouse embryogenesis, showing their dispensability in some models and importance in others.

This study shows that centrosomes soften during mitosis to balance microtubule nucleation and force resistance, ensuring accurate cell division.

The paper identifies centriolar satellites as sites for the coordinated translation of centrosomal and ciliary proteins through RNA binding proteins and quality control factors.

This study identifies deleterious mutations in Wrangel Island mammoths and shows their potential functional impacts on development, fertility, and sensory abilities.
