thumb|Figure1. Illustrates the movement of a diplosome in the early stages of mitosis as described in Diplosome in Mitosis.
In cell biology, a diplosome refers to the pair of centrioles which are arranged perpendicularly to one another located near the nucleus. The diplosome plays a role in many processes such as in primary cilium development, spermiogenesis of teleosts, and mitosis. The rigid arrangement of centrioles in a diplosome is generally established after the procentriole is formed during mitosis.
Role of Diplosome in Primary Cilia Development
Primary cilia develop from the diplosome.
