This study shows that KIF11 mutations impair microtubule dynamics and dendritic arborization in neurons, contributing to intellectual disabilities.

This study shows that microtubule lattice defects accelerate spastin-mediated severing by reducing the number of tubulin subunits needed for cleavage, without preferential spastin binding to defects.

This study shows tau accelerates tubulin exchange in microtubule lattices by stabilizing longitudinal and destabilizing lateral interactions, challenging its traditional role as a stabilizer.

The paper shows that TFEB activation restores lysosomal function and improves motor neuron survival in SMA, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target.

This study uses a floor-field model to show that tau-taxol competition on microtubules explains tau envelope formation and stability without requiring tau-tau interactions.

This study investigates how membrane-anchored kinesin-1 motors affect microtubule gliding velocity, finding that motor density and diffusivity significantly influence transport efficiency.
