The centrosome scaffolding protein forms foci at the ciliary base of sensory neurons in the head and tail of the nematode worm C. elegans. Unlike centrosomes in the germline and early embryo, those PCM accumulations are not built around the core organizing structure of the centrioles. (c) Adapted from Garbrecht, Laos et al., Curr Biol 2021

Centrioles are surrounded by a dense meshwork of proteins called the pericentriolar material (PCM), which together form centrosomes, the main…
