๐จGreat News!๐จ
Our latest preprint is now live on bioRxiv!
We show that MAP65-1 and PRC1 facilitate microtubule nucleation on pre-existing lattices, particularly at sites with structural defects associated with mechanical stress.
Congrats @marianattom.bsky.social

Have you ever wondered how microtubules withstand and respond to mechanical stress in cells?
Here we show by in vitro reconstitution assays that MAP65-1 and PRC1 promote microtubule nucleation on existing lattices, especially on those with structural irregularities linked to mechanical stress.

Happy to share that our paper on Tau- Microtubule interaction is now published in Nature Physics!๐ฅณ
We show that Tau isnโt just a microtubule stabiliser - it promotes removal of defects in the microtubule lattice.
Congratulations @subhambiswas.bsky.social!

Tau accelerates tubulin exchange in the microtubule lattice - Nature Physics
Beyond its known role in stabilizing microtubules, it is now shown that tau protein actively promotes lattice defect repair by enhancing tubulin turnover at topological defects.
Excited to share that my paper on TauโMicrotubule interactions is now published in Nature Physics!๐
Our work shows that tau goes beyond stabilizing microtubulesโit also promotes the removal of defects in the microtubule lattice.
