Emergent microtubule properties in a model of filament turnover and nucleation
Anna C. Nelson, Scott A. McKinley, Melissa M. Rolls +1
Microtubules (MTs) are dynamic protein filaments essential for intracellular organization and transport, particularly in long-lived cells such as neurons. The plus and minus ends o…
