Breakthrough Research Uncovers Mechanism of Microtubule Formation in Cells

Recent research from IRB Barcelona and CNIO reveals how the protein CDK5RAP2 activates the microtubule nucleator γ-tubulin ring complex (γTuRC), crucial for cell structure and division. This groundbreaking study, published in Developmental Cell, enhances our understanding of microtubule dynamics and its implications for cancer treatment, paving the way for more effective therapies targeting cellular dysfunction.
