Abstract

centrioles by conducting serial-section electron microscopy. Our analysis ascertains that centriolar microtubule configurations are indeed present in the B, F, U and Y rectal epithelial cells. Therefore, centrioles are truly spared from elimination in these cells, calling for investigating the importance of such retention compared to the elimination program occurring in most post-mitotic cells.
