title: Centrosomes: coiled-coils organize the cell center.
abstract: The centrosome serves as a structural context for cytoplasmic organization. Recent studies on mutants of the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans have provided new insight into the framework to which microtubules and key regulators of centrosome behavior are anchored.
