Microtubules and Microtubule-Associated Proteins [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2018 Microtubules act as "railways" for motor-driven intracellular transport, interact with accessory proteins to assemble into larger structures such as the mitotic spindle, and provide an organizational framework to the rest of the cell. Key to these functions is the fact that microtubules are "dynamic." As with actin, the polymer dynamics are driven by ...

Nanomechanics of Microtubules [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2002 We have determined the mechanical anisotropy of a single microtubule by simultaneously measuring the Young's and the shear moduli in vitro. This was achieved by elastically deforming the microtubule deposited on a substrate tailored by electron-beam lithography with a tip of an atomic force microscope.

Actin–microtubule coordination at growing microtubule ends [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2014 To power dynamic processes in cells, the actin and microtubule cytoskeletons organize into complex structures. Although it is known that cytoskeletal coordination is vital for cell function, the mechanisms by which cross-linking proteins coordinate actin and microtubule activities remain poorly understood.

A "MICROTUBULE" IN A BACTERIUM [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 1967 A study of the anchorage of the flagella in swarmers of Proteus mirabilis led to the incidental observation of microtubules. These microtubules were found in thin sections and in whole mount preparations of cells from which most of the content had been released by osmotic shock before staining negatively with potassium phosphotungstate (PTA).

Effect of viscoelastic medium on wave propagation along protein microtubules
AIP Advances, 2019 An Orthotropic Kelvin-like model is developed here to study wave dispersion relation along microtubules when they are embedded in viscoelastic material.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2018 Various experiments have indicated that anaphase chromosomes continue to move after their kinetochore microtubules are severed. The chromosomes move poleward at an accelerated rate after the microtubules are cut but they slow down 1–3 min later and move ...

The regulatory effect of Tau protein on polymerization of MCF7 microtubules in vitro
Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2019 Growing evidence continues to point toward the critical role of beta tubulin isotypes in regulating some intracellular functions. Changes that were observed in the microtubules’ intrinsic dynamics, the way they interact with some chemotherapeutic agents,

The emerging role of microtubules in invasion plasticity
Frontiers in Oncology, 2023 The ability of cells to switch between different invasive modes during metastasis, also known as invasion plasticity, is an important characteristic of tumor cells that makes them able to resist treatment targeted to a particular invasion mode.
