In this perspective, Odabasi et al. 2020 provides an overview of the cellular and structural complexities of centriolar satellites and describes the progress in the identification of the centriolar satellite interactome, functions and mechanisms.

Centrosome dysfunction is linked to cancer and neurodevelopmental disorders such as primary microcephaly. Gurkaslar et al. identify CCDC57 as a pleiotropic regulator of centriole duplication, mitosis and ciliogenesis. They show that it mediates its functions by regulating recruitment of centriole duplication proteins to the centrosome and microtubule nucleation.
