TLDR
The spatial aspects of the centrosome duplication cycle, the mechanism of centriole assembly and the possible consequences of the inherent asymmetry of Centrosomes and centrosomes are discussed.
Abstract
Centrosomes are microtubule-organizing centres of animal cells. They influence the morphology of the microtubule cytoskeleton, function as the base for the primary cilium and serve as a nexus for important signalling pathways. At the core of a typical centrosome are two cylindrical microtubule-based structures termed centrioles, which recruit a matrix of associated pericentriolar material. Cells begin the cell cycle with exactly one centrosome, and the duplication of centrioles is constrained such that it occurs only once per cell cycle and at a specific site in the cell. As a result of this duplication mechanism, the two centrioles differ in age and maturity, and thus have different functions; for example, the older of the two centrioles can initiate the formation of a ciliary axoneme. We discuss spatial aspects of the centrosome duplication cycle, the mechanism of centriole assembly and the possible consequences of the inherent asymmetry of centrioles and centrosomes.

Long-range migration of centrioles to the apical surface of the olfactory epithelium

- 14 Apr 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used high-resolution expansion microscopy to find that centrioles migrate together, with multiple centriers per group and multiple groups per OSN, during dendrite outgrowth.

Generation and Characterization of a Tissue-Specific Centrosome Indicator Mouse Line.

TL;DR: Experiments utilizing mouse embryo fibroblasts and adult mouse tissues demonstrated the feasibility of real‐time imaging, and showed that EGFP‐Centrin1 expression mirrored the endogenous centrosome cycle, undergoing precisely one round of duplication through the cell cycle.

Centrosome in Cell Division, Development and Disease

TL;DR: The centrosome is a non-membrane-bound organelle present in most animal cells and it functions as the major microtubule-organising centre (MTOC) which is linked to two types of diseases: microcephaly/primordial dwarfisms and ciliopathies, respectively.

The primary cilium: a signalling centre during vertebrate development

TL;DR: The connections between cilia and developmental signalling have begun to clarify the basis of human diseases associated with ciliary dysfunction, and the cilium represents a nexus for signalling pathways during development.

A Mechanism Linking Extra Centrosomes to Chromosomal Instability

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cells with multiple centrosomes rarely undergo multipolar cell divisions, and the progeny of these divisions are typically inviable, and it is proposed that this mechanism may be a common underlying cause of CIN in human cancer.

Proteomic characterization of the human centrosome by protein correlation profiling

TL;DR: A mass-spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of human centrosomes in the interphase of the cell cycle by quantitatively profiling hundreds of proteins across several centrifugation fractions identified and validated 23 novel components and identified 41 likely candidates as well as the vast majority of the known centrosomal proteins in a large background of nonspecific proteins.

Cleavage of Cohesin by the CD Clan Protease Separin Triggers Anaphase in Yeast

TL;DR: It is shown here that separin is a cysteine protease related to caspases that alone can cleave Sccl in vitro and depends on a conserved protein called separin for sister chromatid separation.
