@GfaYenors Linked to 50 diseases?! A bit excessive... #GFAcellections2016

[GFAcentriole @GFAcentriole]

@GFAgolgibody I can't believe that you're linked to Alzheimer's. #GFAcellections2016

[GFAcentriole @GFAcentriole]

A study has shown, that centrioles can transmit biological information other than genes. https://t.co/XjkoGtA7bJ #GFAcellections2016

Kinesics establish the poles in cell division, while Dynein regulates spindle fiber length. These are 2 main proteins.#GFAcellections

[GFAcentriole @GFAcentriole]

Cilia and flagella each have 1 centriole at the base that controls their movement.

[GFAcentriole @GFAcentriole]

Centrioles not only promote cells division but also ensure that new organelles are in the right place.#GFAcellections

[GFAcentriole @GFAcentriole]

Bacteria do not have centrioles, but they are very important for precise cell division in eukaryotes.#GFACellections

Centrioles in actions#GFACellections

@Red_Bloody_Cell This is actually what I am doing in the meantime https://t.co/S7h4bKb9Qw

[GFAcentriole @GFAcentriole]

Five phases of mitosis: interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Can you believe the centrosome directs all of this?!

[GFAcentriole @GFAcentriole]

Cells technically can divide without centrioles, but they significantly decrease the # of divisional errors in cells.#GFAcellections2016

[GFAcentriole @GFAcentriole]

Other centrosome functions: signal cells to divide; formation of microtubules that help in making the cytoskeleton.#GFAcellections2016

[GFAcentriole @GFAcentriole]

Scientists are unsure of how the duplication of centrioles occurs, but it is important so the new cell has 2 centrioles#GFAcellections2016

[GFAcentriole @GFAcentriole]

The centrosome contains two centrioles, which duplicate during cell division. #GFAcellections2016

[GFAcentriole @GFAcentriole]

Without centrioles, cancer would be impossible since cells wouldn't be able to divide. However, DNA is mainly to blame. #GFAcellections2016

[GFAcentriole @GFAcentriole]

Fast Fact: Whenever the centriole isn't cell dividing, it remains near the nucleus. #GFAcellections2016

[GFAcentriole @GFAcentriole]

Centrioles have the one super power we all wish we had: self-replication. #GFAcellections2016

[GFAcentriole @GFAcentriole]

Thanks to @GFACellMembrane, we can attach to their inner side and form basal bodies! #thanksguys #GFAcellections2016

[GFAcentriole @GFAcentriole]

Fast Fact: Younger centrioles rely on older centrioles to find their proper spot in the cell. #GFAcellections2016

[GFAcentriole @GFAcentriole]

Due to centrioles evolving as a cell refinement, mitosis has become a more efficient and lesser error prone process. #GFAcellections2016
