New research suggests that tubulin may help prevent the toxic protein clumps associated with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s ...

After 40 years of research, researchers have finally identified the enzyme responsible for the tubulin detyrosination. Surprisingly, it is not one enzyme but two which control the modification of this ...

"When tubulin levels are low, as it has been found in Alzheimer's disease, microtubules are less abundant and Tau and alpha synuclein can form toxic aggregates," Lucas said. "But when tubulin is ...

Microtubules are active protein polymers critical to the structure and function of cells and the process of cell division. In a living cell their growing ends constantly elongate and retreat in a ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered a potential new strategy to fight back against Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, conditions that are linked to the toxic accumulation of ...

Tubulin is a protein that plays a crucial role in the structure and function of cells. It is the main component of microtubules, which are long, hollow fibers that provide structural support, help the ...

Western blotting and other immunological protein-analytical methods are widely used for detecting and (semi-)quantifying specific proteins in given samples. This webinar will discuss a significant, ...

Constructed with tubulin heterodimers connected into a hollow cylinder, the microtubule, an essential component of the cytoskeleton, plays a vital role in various intracellular processes. In a recent ...
