Microtubule dynamics: faint speckle, hidden dragon

Curr Biol. 2004 Sep 7;14(17):R702-4. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2004.08.042.

Abstract

The results of recent experiments in budding and fission yeast show that there is a diversity of mechanisms for targeting proteins to the plus ends of microtubules in eukaryotic cells.
