Abstract

Cell polarity is inherent to animal development and requires microtubules. In essentially all non-terminally differentiated somatic and male germ-line animal cells, microtubule organisation is governed by centrosomes. Animal development without centrosomes would therefore seem inconceivable. The claim of flies without centrosomes may appear to challenge this notion. Does it?
