Abstract
The centrosome is a subcellular organelle that is responsible for the majority of microtubule organization. Through this ability, the centrosome is involved in cell division, migration, and polarization. Recent studies have revealed intriguing asymmetries between mother and daughter centrioles as well as between mother and daughter centrosomes, and the involvement of such asymmetries in multiple cellular and developmental processes. This review aims to summarize recent discoveries on such asymmetries in centrioles/centrosomes and the potential implication of their inheritance patterns during cell division and development.
