MSN: Microtubules discovered to play an active role in correctly distributing chromosomes during cell division
Microtubules, the dynamic filaments that form the cell's internal scaffolding, have long been viewed as mere passive structural supports. But a new study reveals they play a far more active signaling ...
Microtubules discovered to play an active role in correctly distributing chromosomes during cell division
Cells typically contain a cytoskeleton, which helps shuttle things around and provides structural integrity, among other functions. Microtubules are important parts of the cytoskeleton, and new ...
First author Sung Choi investigated how the signalling protein GEFH1 specifically binds to microtubules – a key step towards a better understanding of cellular communication. The most diverse ...

News Medical: Study reveals molecular basis of how CAMSAP3 protein stabilizes microtubules within cells
Like poles support a tent, microtubules - hollow cylindrical structures made of tubulin protein - support eukaryotic cells. But microtubules provide more than just mechanical strength; they help ...

EurekAlert!: Cell division in moss and animals more similar than previously thought
A Northwestern Medicine study has shed light on one of the most intricate construction projects in biology: how cells build and coordinate the internal scaffolding needed to create a healthy egg. The ...
