Moreover, whereas microtubules in non-transfected cells converged to the centrosome, as visualized by γ-tubulin staining (Fig. 7, arrows), MP-associated microtubules were characterized by the ...

The best-studied members of this class in plants are the MAP-65 proteins that can be purified together with plant microtubules after several cycles of polymerization and depolymerization.

Their main role is to arrange the microtubules during cell division. Centrioles are found in animal cells but are not ...

Consciousness gives rise to a sense of self and personal agency. The question is, how do biological processes give rise to ...

In leaves of A. thaliana, there exists an intricate network of epidermal surface layer cells responsible for anatomical stability and vigor of flexibility to the entire leaf. Rho GTPases direct this ...
