A Northwestern Medicine study has shed light on one of the most intricate construction projects in biology: how cells build ...

Constructed with tubulin heterodimers connected into a hollow cylinder, the microtubule, an essential component of the cytoskeleton, plays a vital role in various intracellular processes. In a recent ...

Direct evidence that microtubules function as mechano-sensors and regulate the intracellular transport of molecules has been reported, leading to new possibilities in the fields of biomechanics, ...

As organisms grow, live, and move through the world, they're subjected to an array of internal and external forces. Biological forms must be able to withstand the stresses of stretching and ...

Representative kymographs showing single GFP-tagged ATAT-2 molecules on GMPCPP-stabilized MEC-12/MEC-7 (left) and TBA-2/TBB-2 (right ...
