Microtubules are involved in various functions, which are mediated by complex interactions with a large range of microtubule-interacting proteins, such as motor proteins, microtubule stabilizers and ...

Researchers have been able to use label-free spatial light interference microscopy (SLIM) and computer processing in order to image microtubules in an assay. The hollow tubular structures serve as the ...

Direct evidence that microtubules function as mechano-sensors and regulate the intracellular transport of molecules has been reported, leading to new possibilities in the fields of biomechanics, ...

A new study by researchers from Drexel University College of Medicine reverses the popular scientific dogma that the protein tau stabilizes microtubules within brain cells. The scientists’ new ...

Biologists recommend further study of how rope-like polymers called microtubules function. They computational comparations of two models of microtubules, a component of cell cytoskeletons. Researchers ...

Microtubules are cell constituents that display several astounding properties and a unique pattern of behavior during the cell cycle. Microtubules are regulated by several proteins and complexes, and ...

Microtubules function in concert with associated proteins that modify microtubule behavior and/or transmit signals that effect changes in growth. To better understand how microtubules and their ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We used the inhibitor nocodazole in conjunction with immunofluorescence and electron microscopy to investigate microtubule function in the ...

(Nanowerk News) Imaging very small materials takes not only great skill on the part of the microscopist, but also great instruments and techniques. For a refined microscopic look at biological ...
