The generation and survival of all organisms requires the precise partitioning of duplicated chromosomes to daughter cells. Defects in segregation lead to aneuploidy, the state in which entire ...

Actually, I had no idea in the early 1960s that I was entering the arena of microtubule research, because it hadn't yet been defined as an arena. Although the term 'microtubule' was first coined in ...

B(αβ) tubulin was obtained from a homogeneous class of microtubules, the incomplete B subfiber of sea urchin sperm flagellar doublet microtubules, by thermal fractionation. The thermally derived ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) represents a better choice compared to light-based microscopy methods for the stufy of microtubules. For instance, the AFM can be used in buffers to image samples at a ...

The tubulin family of proteins are vital components of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton and are the main constituent of microtubules in living cells. The tubulin proteins α- and β polymerize into long ...
