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.
Researchers Capture High-Resolution Images of Early Microtubule Formation in Human Cells
Researchers at the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona and the Spanish National Cancer Research Center (CNIO) in Madrid have achieved a groundbreaking feat by capturing the world’s first high-resolution images of the earliest moments of microtubule formation inside…
