Source sentences:
text: Surprisingly, newly exposed minus ends were stable and immediately resumed polymerization.
text: As predicted, if a special stabilizing structure is required at polymerizing ends, the newly exposed plus ends were unstable and rapidly depolymerized.
text: Microtubules caught in retrograde flow can also bend and break, exposing unstable minus ends and new plus ends.
text: Furthermore, the newly exposed minus ends created by physical severing of the microtubules are quite stable, as these ends used to be located in the middle of longer microtubules (Tran et al., 1997).
text: While the ends are stable, a microtubule will grow, but once an end begins to come apart, the splaying propagates down the microtubule ( Figure 1 ).
