Before revision:  We develop a stochastic kinetic model for studying the strength and stability of a pre-formed attachment of a MT with a rigid wall where the MT is tethered to the wall by a group of  motor proteins.
After revision:  We develop a stochastic kinetic model for studying the strength and stability of a pre-formed attachment of a mictrotuble (MT) with a cell cortex, in which the MT is tethered to the wall by a group of motor proteins.
