A multi-institutional research collaboration has revealed that the microtubule network (*1), which plays a vital role in cell construction and polarization (*2), utilizes the phase separation (*3) ...

Cell division, i.e., the process through which a parent cell divides into two daughter cells, is fundamental to the growth, repair, and reproduction of living organisms. During cell division, ...

Kinesin proteins eat away at microtubules, shortening them and pulling chromosomes to opposite spindle poles during cell division in most organisms. However, fission yeast lacks these proteins, and ...

Microtubule plus-end tracking proteins (+TIPs) play key roles in the regulation of microtubule dynamics in vivo. These proteins bind to and regulate microtubule “plus‐ends”, which are the dynamic ends ...

An industry-sponsored expert panel issued statements recommending tirbanibulin as first-line actinic keratosis treatment.

Microtubule-targeting agents impact microtubule dynamics to induce mitotic arrest and tumor cell death. Tubulin is therefore a relevant target for the discovery of new agents acting as tumor ...

Mitotic cell division, when a cell splits into two identical daughter cells, involves lots of moving parts that must be properly organized for accurate segregation. The main players responsible for ...

Microtubules are cellular fibres that are part of the skeleton of the cell, termed cytoskeleton. They ensure that cells maintain their shape, carry out their functions, and divide. Microtubule fibres ...
