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 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 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 ...

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 ...

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.

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

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 ...
