Centrosomal Dysfunction

Centrosomal dysfunction refers to problems with the centrosome, a cellular structure that helps organize the cell's internal skeleton and ensures proper cell division. When the centrosome malfunctions, it can lead to errors in how cells divide and organize themselves, potentially causing abnormalities in cell shape, growth, and function. This disruption is linked to various diseases, including certain cancers and genetic disorders, because healthy cell division is essential for normal development and tissue maintenance. Essentially, centrosomal dysfunction hampers the cell's ability to divide accurately, which can have serious consequences for overall health.
