Plant Sciences 🌿 We're honored to have mary williams as our guest speaker. A unique opportunity for early career scientists to connect and collaborate plant-ecr-networking.eu

Happy to announce that our review article with Laura Meissner on "Helical motion and torque generation by #microtubule motors (#kinesin and #dynein)" is out #OpenAccess authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09…

Bagdadi et al ArnalAndrieuxLab GIN Neuro Grenoble show that, although usually considered inactive, GDP-bound tubulin polymerizes into remarkably stable #microtubules. MTs thus possess an intrinsic capacity for stability, independent of accessory proteins. hubs.la/Q02xy7Gf0
