A CEP215–HSET complex links centrosomes with spindle poles and drives centrosome clustering in cancer

Centrosome clustering allows survival of cells with amplified centrosomes at the cost of chromosome instability. Here, Chavali et al. show that the centrosome component CEP215 collaborates with the kinesin motor HSET both to maintain spindle poles connections and to cluster centrosomes.
