Like poles support a tent, microtubules—hollow cylindrical structures made of tubulin protein—support eukaryotic cells. But microtubules provide more than just mechanical strength; they help prepare ...

Actually, I had no idea in the early 1960s that I was entering the arena of microtubule research, because it hadn't yet been defined as an arena. Although the term 'microtubule' was first coined in ...

Almost all cell types exhibit some form of polarity; cell polarity refers to the spatial differences in shape, structure and function within a cell, which enables the cell to carry out specialized ...

The tubulin family of proteins are vital components of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton and are the main constituent of microtubules in living cells. The tubulin proteins α- and β polymerize into long ...
