All-atom simulations on the Fugaku supercomputer showed that contact between kinesin’s neck region and a microtubule biases the motor’s trailing ...

The significance of the MAP65 family extends well beyond its role as a set of microtubule bundling factors. Because microtubules ...

New research shows that the nuclear envelope protein SUN2 regulates endothelial microtubule dynamics, focal adhesions, and extracellular matrix quality to ...

A cross-species study shows that the width of the mitotic spindle scales with the cube root of genome size because ...

Researchers have embedded cell-free gene expression inside a microtubule network to create an active material whose flows, buckling, oscillations and ...

New research shows that taxane chemotherapy drugs expand the microtubule lattice and thereby release the signalling protein GEF-H1, rapidly activating ...

New laboratory research shows progesterone increases vasohibin-2 expression and tubulin detyrosination in progesterone receptor-negative ovarian cancer cells, sharply boosting their ...

Researchers in Bonn have discovered that the SMN protein forms reversible cytoplasmic condensates under stress to trap and clear misplaced ...

Suppressor screens in worms, human cells and mouse oocytes reveal tubulin variants that can counteract disease-causing tubulin mutations and restore ...
