Microtubules are the largest type of filament ... which is the meshwork of membrane-associated proteins that supports and strengthens the plasma membrane. Such networks allow cells to hold ...

In plants, both microtubule-associated proteins (MAPS) and viral movement proteins (MPs) interact with microtubules. Recently, a unique plant structural MAP has been cloned, which may have a ...

Prior research has suggested a link between microtubules ... may be associated with hemisphere dominance. More information: ...

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 ...

In eukaryotes, segregation of duplicated chromosomes is performed by the mitotic spindle, a cellular machine composed of microtubules and their associated proteins. Spindles are built from ...
