Microtubules are polarized cytoskeletal filaments that serve as tracks for intracellular
transport and form a scaffold that positions organelles and other cellular components and …

Microtubules are core components of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton with essential roles in cell
division, shaping, motility and intracellular transport. Despite their functional heterogeneity …

Life is a non‐equilibrium state of matter maintained at the expense of energy. Nature uses
predominantly chemical energy stored in thermodynamically activated, but kinetically stable …

All chemists are familiar with the idea that, at equilibrium steady state, the relative
concentrations of species present in a system are predicted by the corresponding …

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 …

Microtubules are dynamic polymers of αβ-tubulin that are essential for intracellular
organization, organelle trafficking and chromosome segregation. Microtubule growth and …

The cytoskeleton of animal cells is one of the most complicated and functionally versatile
structures, involved in processes such as endocytosis, cell division, intra-cellular transport …

In eukaryotes, end-binding (EB) proteins serve as a hub for orchestrating microtubule
dynamics and are essential for cellular dynamics and organelle movements. EB proteins …

One of the primary causes of attenuated or loss of efficacy of cancer chemotherapy is the
emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR). Numerous studies have been published …

Cells are compartmentalized by numerous membrane-enclosed organelles and
membraneless compartments to ensure that a wide variety of cellular activities occur in a …
