Studies have shown that in ALS patients, microtubules—which are the major component of the cell cytoskeleton and serve as tracks for transporting components from cell bodies to neuronal ...

Microtubules, a key component of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells, serve as scaffolds and play vital roles in cellular processes such as cell division, cell migration, intracellular transport, and ...

A multi-institutional research collaboration has revealed that the microtubule network (*1), which plays a vital role in cell construction and polarization (*2), utilizes the phase separation (*3) ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract γ-Tubulin is a conserved component of microtubule-organizing centers and is thought to be involved in microtubule nucleation. A recently ...

Microtubule-depolymerising agents disrupt microtubule function by binding to specific sites on β-tubulin subunits; consequently they are ideal for use in cell synchronization studies and also in the ...

The chromosomes, once they have duplicated genetic information, move to the center of the cell and the cell, in a very remarkable way, quickly sprouts from its two ends large tubes that hook the ...
