Microtubules are the largest type of filament, with a diameter of about 25 nanometers (nm), and they are composed of a protein called tubulin. Actin filaments are the smallest type, with a ...

Microtubules are composed of a protein called tubulin, which consists of alpha and beta subunits that assemble into large, tube-shaped filaments within the cell. These fibers are dynamic, growing from ...

Microtubules are protein fibers that facilitate the transport of cellular components throughout a cell’s interior. Within a cell, microtubules span from the nucleus to the cell membrane, and the motor ...

Microtubules are major components of the cytoskeleton. They are found in all eukaryotic cells, and they are involved in mitosis, cell motility, intracellular transport, and maintenance of cell shape.

A joint research team from the LKS Faculty of Medicine (HKUMed) and the Faculty of Science at the University of Hong Kong has uncovered an unexpected interaction between chemotherapeutic agents and a ...

Caltech researchers demonstrated a new method to use light to control active matter—a kind of material made up of individual ...

Protein filaments, like microtubules, and molecular motors are fundamental components of the cytoskeleton in many types of cells. An important example of the construction and rebuilding of ...

The image is a time projection of mitochondria (in the cytoplasm, grey) and chromosomes (center of the cell, orange) during anaphase showing a flow pattern with vortexes. The flow pattern is aligned ...
