Before revision:  Here, we investigate, via numerical simulations and mathematical calculations, some of the consequences of age-dependence of catastrophe on the dynamics of microtubules as a function of the aging rate, for two different models of aging: (a) exponential growth, but saturating asymptotically and (b) purely linear growth.
