Physical basis of large microtubule aster growth
Microtubule asters - radial arrays of microtubules organized by centrosomes - play a fundamental role in the spatial coordination of animal cells. The standard model of aster growth assumes a fixed number of microtubules originating from the centrosomes. However, aster morphology in this model does not scale with cell size, and we recently found evidence for non-centrosomal microtubule nucleati...
متن کاملPhysical aspects of the growth and regulation of microtubule structures.
The growth of microtubules through the so-called dynamical instability is analyzed within a simple theoretical model in which the polymers are nucleated by a flat surface. For an isolated microtubule the model predicts the existence of a transition between bounded and unbounded growth. It is also shown that this transition alters the assembly of dense structures, e.g., by drastically limiting t...
متن کاملVisualization of aberrant perinuclear microtubule aster organization by microtubule-destabilizing agents.
To analyze aberrant spindle formation by microtubule-targeting drugs, live cell imaging was performed using multi-fluorescent human MDA-MB-435 cells in which several spindle components were visualized. Time-lapse images revealed that nocodazole and vinblastine induced additional perinuclear asters at the onset of mitosis. These results imply that these drugs stimulate the microtubule-organizing...
متن کاملTHE OPTIMIZATION OF LARGE-SCALE DOME TRUSSES ON THE BASIS OF THE PROBABILITY OF FAILURE
Metaheuristic algorithms are preferred by the many researchers to reach the reliability based design optimization (RBDO) of truss structures. The cross-sectional area of the elements of a truss is considered as design variables for the size optimization under frequency constraints. The design of dome truss structures are optimized based on reliability by a popular metaheuristic optimization tec...
