This is a time-lapse movie of microtubules (visualized using a GFP-Tubulin reporter) in a living plant cell. Shown is a cotyledon epidermal cell from an...
The plus end binding protein EB1 (End-Binding 1) primarily decorates growing microtubule plus ends when fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP). We can use this...
By using an advanced robotic laser microscope system, subcellular structures can be manipulated. In this video microtubule polymerization can be visualized after single microtubules...
This cortical ring of microtubules encircling the nucleus forms prior to mitosis. This structure has been the subject of keen interest to plant cell biologists...
This is a time-lapse movie of microtubules (visualized using a GFP-Tubulin reporter) in the Arabidopsis thaliana mutant mor1-1. Shown is a cotyledon epidermal cell. Colored...
Here is a timelapse of microtubule dynamics in a cell of the Arabidopsis clasp-1 mutant, which lacks the CLASP microtubule-associated protein. Note that microtubules frequently...
Microtubules are nucleated at the cell cortex, and remain attached to the cell cortex along their lengths for the duration of their lifespan. As you...

Function
In the cell, small molecules such as gases and glucose diffuse to where they are needed. Large molecules synthesized in the cell body, intracellular...
The anti-cancer drug Taxol works by interfering with processes within cells. The way in which Taxol binds to microtubule and prevents cell division is...
