We have proposed that microtubules (MTs) destined for axons and dendrites are nucleated at the centrosome within the cell body of the neuron, and are then released for translocation into these ...

Centrosomes are the main microtubule-organizing centres in most animal cells. A recent study demonstrates that these organelles also nucleate actin filaments. The centrosome comprises a pair of ...

Scientists have long thought that microtubules, part of the microscopic scaffolding that the cell uses to move things around in order to hold its shape and divide, originated from a tiny structure ...

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) ...

Isolation of centrosomes from human cells has revealed a proteic pattern which is both complex and specific. As the most prominent structural element of centrosomes in animal cells, the centriole ...
