Microtubules are non-covalent mesoscale polymers central to the eukaryotic cytoskeleton.
Microtubule structure, dynamics, and mechanics are modulated by a cell's choice of tubulin …

Microtubules act as “railways” for motor-driven intracellular transport, interact with accessory
proteins to assemble into larger structures such as the mitotic spindle, and provide an …

Microtubules have fundamental roles in many essential biological processes, including cell
division and intracellular transport. They assemble and disassemble from their two ends …

Evaluation of the electrostatic properties of biomolecules has become a standard practice in
molecular biophysics. Foremost among the models used to elucidate the electrostatic …

▪ Abstract The polymerization dynamics of microtubules are central to their biological
functions. Polymerization dynamics allow microtubules to adopt spatial arrangements that …

Microtubule-associated proteins (MAP), such as tau, modulate the extent and rate of
microtubule assembly and play an essential role in morphogenetic processes, such as …

Microtubules have long been considered an ideal target for anticancer drugs because of the
essential role they play in mitosis, forming the dynamic spindle apparatus. As such, there is …

Cell Movements vividly describes how complex movements can arise from the properties
and behaviors of biological molecules. This second edition is updated throughout with …

Mitotic catastrophe (MC) has long been considered as a mode of cell death that results from
premature or inappropriate entry of cells into mitosis and can be caused by chemical or …

Recent studies indicate the actin and microtubule cytoskeletons are a final common target of
many signaling cascades that influence the developing neuron. Regulation of polymer …
