title: The amorphous pericentriolar cloud takes shape.
abstract: The pericentriolar material (PCM), the microtubule-organizing component of the centrosome, contains a multitude of proteins and is commonly described as an amorphous cloud surrounding the centrioles. However, the days of the PCM as an unstructured matrix are numbered. Using super-resolution microscopy, several reports have now revealed remarkable domain organization within the PCM.
