A simple Turing reaction-diffusion model explains how PLK4 breaks symmetry during centriole duplication and assembly

Centrioles duplicate when a mother centriole gives birth to a daughter that grows from its side. Polo-like-kinase 4 (PLK4), the master regulator of centriole duplication, is recruited symmetrically around the mother centriole, but it then concentrates at a single focus that defines the daughter cent...
