Facets:
Source sentences:
text: Although it is generally believed that microtubules have minus ends bound to the centrosome and free plus ends that exhibit dynamic instability, recent observations show that the minus ends can be free and that modulation of dynamic instability at both ends can result in treadmilling and flux in interphase cells.
text: Microtubules in vertebrate tissue cells are arranged with their minus ends near the cell centre or anchored at the centrosome, which is often positioned between the nucleus and the leading edge.
text: Substantial evidence exists that the stable and labile microtubule fractions in the neuron are not separate microtubules but rather that each microtubule has a stable region toward its minus end with most of these microtubules extending a highly dynamic labile region from its plus end (Baas and Black, 1990; Brown et al., 1993).
