Its dual interaction with actin filaments and microtubules highlights its essential role in cytoskeletal organization, such as cell division, apoptosis, and possibly tumorigenesis. However, the ...

Neuroscientist Bruno Cisterna snapped the photo using a high-resolution microscopy technique as ... In green are the rigid rods, or microtubules, that connect some cells and transport organelles ...

When fluorescent tags are added to cytoskeletal polymers such as microtubules, a line of fluorescence and even non-linear structures results. While much progress has been made in techniques for ...

The microtubules took 5th place at the Nikon Small World in Motion competition. A "donut" of mesmerizing, cell-forming microtubules moving in sync is among the top entries in Nikon's annual ...

Exposure of Taxol-stabilized microtubules (~2 μM tubulin) to the LED for 120 min resulted in gradual disassembly of microtubules observed in fluorescence microscopy images. These results were compared ...

Microtubules (MTs) are nonequilibrium polymers that switch between states of growth ... changes and that MT stability depends on a transiently existing GTP cap at the growing MT end. Here, we use cryo ...

However, the direct effects of SSNA1 on microtubules are not known. We employed in vitro reconstitution with purified proteins and TIRF microscopy to investigate the activity of human SSNA1 on dynamic ...

The team carried out experiments with microtubules in a cell free system. They found that kinesin movement is slowed down when the microtubule is bent. Using high-speed atomic force microscopy ...

Here brain microtubules are examined by the magnetic force microscopy. The evidence of strong diamagnetism and its sensitivity to the water content in the microtubules is obtained. This gives another ...
