This study demonstrates the formation of large-scale polar microtubule swarms that enable dense molecular transport through motor-driven activity and filament regeneration.

This study demonstrates that microtubule bundling can occur through condensate-mediated capillary forces, independent of bulk protein concentration.

This study identifies how XMAP215 interacts with γ-TuRC to promote microtubule nucleation through specific TOG domains and reveals structural insights into their cooperative function.

This paper demonstrates a boundary-sensing mechanism in branched microtubule networks using a nanotechnology platform, showing how length-dependent branching and dynamic instability enable tunable network formation in confined spaces.

The paper studies sperm hyperactivation in different fluid environments, identifying three migration strategies and showing how circling-and-wandering balances exploration and exploitation for effective migration.

This study shows HURP stabilizes microtubules and works with TPX2 to promote branching microtubule nucleation during spindle assembly in Xenopus egg extract.

This paper identifies two conformations of the γ-tubulin ring complex (γ-TuRC) using cryo-EM and proposes a model for how conformational changes facilitate microtubule nucleation.

The paper presents an integrated model of the vertebrate augmin complex using cryo-EM, structural prediction, and electron microscopy, revealing its structure, conservation, and microtubule binding site.
