text: Microtubules (MTs) are long proteic filaments, with asymmetric extremities: one end termed "minus" (-) end, relatively stable and close to the centrosome, and an end termed "plus" (+) end, with alternating phases of growth and retraction, exploring the center of the cell searching the chromosomes.
text: The end of a polarized filament that grows and shrinks the fastest is known as the plus end and the opposing end is called the minus end.

text: The different polymerization rates of the two ends of the MT are a consequence of this polarity; the faster growing end is referred to as the plus end and the slower growing end as the minus end (
