Microtubules are structures that can rapidly grow (via polymerization) or shrink (via depolymerization) in size, depending on how many tubulin molecules they contain. Dynamic networks of protein ...

Intermediate filaments commonly work in tandem with microtubules, providing strength and support for the fragile tubulin structures. All cells have intermediate filaments, but the protein subunits ...

Microtubules are hollow cylindrical structures that play a fundamental role in many biological functions. They are particularly important in cancer-related cellular processes, such as cell division ...

The researchers investigated how the skeletal structure (axoneme) formed from microtubules is organized. They discovered ...

Tau is a microtubule-associated protein that helps to stabilize the structure of neurons, specifically by supporting microtubules, cylindrical structures that contribute to cell motility ...

A joint research team from the LKS Faculty of Medicine (HKUMed) and the Faculty of Science at the University of Hong Kong has uncovered an unexpected interaction between chemotherapeutic agents and a ...
