During the cell cycle, centrosomes duplicate only in a highly spatiotemporally regulated manner that is controlled by many proteins described in the present work perturbation of these regulatory mechanisms can affect the proper execution of the various processes and result in the formation of abnormal centrosomes and result in the formation if abnormal centrosomes Alterations in centrosomes nunber and structure lead to defective mitosis and consequently in chromosome instability, which is a major source of aneuploidy in cancers In the future, further detailed characterization of centrosome regulation during the cell cycle could provide promising targets for cancer therapy.
