Developmental mutants show that the self-organization of the microtubules is important for cells to elongate and plants to develop an axis. The exact relationship between microtubules and ...

MAP65 may also help organize phragmoplast microtubules. There are many differences between plant and animal cells. Both types of cell are surrounded by an extracellular matrix, but whereas some ...

The researchers are the first to witness the birth and growth of individual "microtubules" – nanosize tubes of protein that form inside living plant cells. "We have a strong interest in cell ...

Microtubules exist in living cells of plants and animals and they are essential in maintaining cellular structures, migration of cells, intracellular transport and more. In other words ...

Microtubules in cells transiently interact with LRRK2 in a kinase-independent manner. While microtubule depolymerization ...

In particular, they want to understand how structures called microtubules help to define where the cell splits in half during the division process. Maresca explains, "This has been studied for a ...

The laser beam injured the plant tissue, and the microscope recorded what happened next. After analyzing the video material, the researchers discovered that microtubules—dynamic protein ...

If plants can harness quantum effects at room ... mechanisms to protect quantum processes at much warmer temperatures. Microtubules might create specialized environments that shield quantum ...

There’s certainly evidence that bacteria, plants and even kidney cells communicate ... So Rhanama and co hypothesise that microtubules can act as wave guides, channeling light from one part ...

First, plants transform photons ... Both involved experiments shining light particles into microtubules and observing that the signal did not degrade. In fact, according to these studies, the ...
