Abstract: The centriole is a cylinder of nine triplet microtubules found at the core of the centrosome. The location of centrioles within the centrosome has always seemed to suggest a role in centrosome function, but proof of this has remained elusive. In part, this is due to the lack of convenient methods to remove centrioles specifically. For example, microsurgery or laser ablation will remove or damage not just the centriole but the entire centrosome as well.
