Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) have discovered how proteins work in tandem to regulate ‘treadmilling’, a mechanism used by the network of microtubules inside cells to ensure ...

Abstract: Microtubules are dynamic polymers that are remodeled in response to a variety of cellular and environmental cues. However, the fundamental molecular mechanisms underlying microtubule ...

In most animal cells, microtubules are focused on the centrosome, an organelle near the nucleus that organizes the microtubule cytoskeleton into a radial array. As a result, they exhibit a property ...

Researchers have discovered how proteins work in tandem to regulate 'treadmilling', a mechanism used by the network of microtubules inside cells to ensure proper cell division. Researchers at the ...
