has shown that diverse structures can emerge from the dynamic interplay between microtubules and molecular motors. These ...

In motile animal cells, such as fibroblasts or macrophages, the centrosome typically nucleates the aster of microtubules that radiates in the cytoplasm, and, as shown last year 2, the centrosome ...

Microtubules are the largest type of filament, with a diameter of about 25 nanometers (nm), and they are composed of a protein called tubulin. Actin filaments are the smallest type, with a ...

A three-dimensional look at an aster, a structure composed of tiny protein filaments that have been engineered to be controlled with light. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for ...

Wiest and his research team found that when they gave rats a drug that binds to microtubules, it took the rats significantly longer to fall unconscious under an anesthetic gas. The research team's ...
