At mitosis, NuMA recruits dynein-dynactin to microtubule minus-ends, enabling robust microtubule clustering and the emergence of spindle poles.

The minus-ends of microtubules have been implicated as part of a damage sensor to initiate remodeling of nerve cells.

A mechanism for yeast centrosomes to differentiate the microtubule cytoskeleton.

Comparative measurements and simulations of microtubule plus and minus end growth with mixed nucleotides demonstrate that nucleotide acts across a tubulin:tubulin interface to influence microtubule stability and dynamics.

Cortical dynein organizes unipolar microtubule arrays in Drosophila axons by expelling minus-end-out microtubules.

In vitro reconstitution reveals how a system of molecules works together to transport the motor protein dynein to the start of its track.

The motor domains of dynein are sufficient to crosslink microtubules and slide them antiparallel to each other.

The protein PTRN-1 anchors microtubules in neuronal branches to promote proper neuron morphology and function in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Microtubule networks in frog egg extracts can spontaneously contract in a manner that can be quantitatively described by an active fluid model.

The C. elegans ninein homolog NOCA-1 is important for the assembly of non-centrosomal microtubule arrays required for embryo production, nuclear positioning and larval development.
