DESCRIPTION:\nThe centrosome is a key mediator of several essential functi
 ons in animal cells. Because of its importance\, it has been extensively s
 tudied for more than a century. However\, centriolar satellites -its close
  neighbours- are a relatively new addition to the inventory of cell compar
 tments and not much is known about them. They are small dot-like structure
 s made of proteins that can walk at astonishing speeds along microtubules\
 , the cell’s structural elements. Their journey ends in very close proxi
 mity to the centrosome\, where they accumulate. In my talk\, I will show h
 ow some newly identified components of centriolar satellites are involved 
 in specific cellular functions. I will also present an innovative molecula
 r tool for the study of centriolar satellites at different stages of the l
 ife of a cell.
