Effects of α-tubulin acetylation on microtubule structure and stability

This study uses cryo-EM and molecular dynamics to show that α-tubulin acetylation at K40 reduces loop disorder and may affect microtubule stability.

Self-repair protects microtubules from their destruction by molecular motors

The paper investigates how molecular motors affect microtubule stability and discovers a self-repair mechanism that counteracts motor-induced damage.
