Organizing Microtubule Asters
Aug. 8, 2018—Microtubules (MTs) are a critical component of the cytoskeleton, playing a role in a range of processes from cell polarization to division. MTs are polymers of αβ-tubulin that grow and shrink from a rapidly changing plus-end and a more slowly changing minus-end to form two primary architectures – linear bundles and radial asters. In most in vitrostudies,...
