Role of CAP350 in centriolar tubule stability and centriole assembly.

<h4>Background</h4>Centrioles are microtubule-based cylindrical structures composed of nine triplet tubules and are required for the formation of the centrosome, flagella and cilia. Despite theirs importance, centriole biogenesis is poorly understood. Centrosome duplication is initiated...
