Computational, theoretical, and in vivo studies reveal that in epithelia the self-organization of apical microtubules is robustly determined by cell geometry and minus-end distribution, not organism environment or genetics.

Micron-scale geometrical features of individual microtubule polymers and polymer networks encode information that guides the self-organization of microtubules into specialized structures for diverse cellular functions such as cell division and signaling in eukaryotic cells.

Super-resolution microscopy, biochemical and functional analyses reveal how α-taxilin and γ-taxilin are assembled at the subdistal appendages and their roles in microtubule organization.

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

oMAP4 is a microtubule crosslinker that restricts motor driven microtubule motility and cooperates with microtubule motors in the establishment of paraxial microtubule arrangements in differentiating muscle cells.

Microtubules orchestrate wound repair and innate immune response in the Caenorhabditis elegans epidermis.

A sequential reaction pathway involving TPX2, augmin and γ-TuRC governs the assembly and architecture of branched microtubule networks.

Geometrical features of microtubule arrays regulate the collective activity of motor and non-motor proteins.

PAR-6 and PKC-3/aPKC are essential for postembryonic development of C. elegans and control the organization of non-centrosomal microtubule bundles in the epidermis, likely through recruitment of NOCA-1/Ninein.

Rapid depletion of dynein from oocytes yielded new insights into acentrosomal pole organization and also led to the first evidence that the kinesin-5 motor BMK-1 plays a role in microtubule organization during C. elegans meiosis.
