Microtubules tend to grow out from the centrosome to the plasma membrane. In nondividing cells, microtubule networks radiate out from the centrosome to provide the basic organization of the ...

Microtubules are major components of the cytoskeleton. They are found in all eukaryotic cells, and they are involved in mitosis, cell motility, intracellular transport, and maintenance of cell shape.

First atomic-scale 'movie' of microtubules under construction, a key process for cell division Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Oncológicas (CNIO) Journal Science Funder Ministerio de Ciencia e ...

Microtubules are protein fibers that facilitate the transport of cellular components throughout a cell’s interior. Within a cell, microtubules span from the nucleus to the cell membrane, and the motor ...

Microtubules are composed of a protein called tubulin, which consists of alpha and beta subunits that assemble into large, tube-shaped filaments within the cell. These fibers are dynamic, growing from ...

This article shows that a cytoplasmic dynein component is present at the kinetichore at least in prometaphase. Because the microtubules in the spindle are oriented with their minus ends at the pole ...

Mitosis orchestrates eukaryotic cell division, maintaining genetic fidelity and playing a key role in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression.

This research demonstrates how (-)-carvone targets and degrades microtubules in weeds, inducing cell death and inhibiting ...

Microtubules guide the movement of the Bucky ... Solid-like structures in cells are mostly known from pathological contexts, such as prions, which irreversibly form and damage cells, causing ...

Unlike a human skeleton, though, the cytoskeleton in cells doesn't contain bones. Instead, it's made up of microtubules (long polymer tubes of the tubulin protein) and microfilaments made from the ...
