In a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , researchers from Queen Mary University of London ...

Meiotic errors in oocytes cause egg aneuploidy. This study shows that kinetochores employ MPS1 kinase to promote timely ...

TIPs include several structurally unrelated and evolutionary conserved protein families of microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs). Several relatively small protein modules and linear sequence ...

Researchers have shed light on the mechanisms governing the dynamics of microtubules – the vital protein structures forming ...

Motor motion on cytoskeletal filaments is particularly important for biological length regulation, because numerous proteins targeted to microtubule ends modify their dynamics and can dramatically ...

Their findings, published in Developmental Cell, shed light on how a protein called CDK5RAP2 activates the microtubule ...

One group of drugged rats also received microtubule-stabilizing drugs, while the other did not. The researchers discovered that the microtubule-stabilizing molecules kept the rats conscious for ...

An image of a large segment of a microtubule with a peeling tip. The colors highlight the different protofilaments that make up the tubule. The protofilaments are long biopolymers consisting of ...
