Once and only once: mechanisms of centriole duplication and their deregulation in disease

EA Nigg, AJ Holland - Nature reviews Molecular cell biology, 2018 - nature.com

and act as templates for the formation of cilia and flagella. Centrioles have important roles in …

Mechanism and regulation of centriole and cilium biogenesis

DK Breslow, AJ Holland - Annual review of biochemistry, 2019 - annualreviews.org
