※ Microtubule introduction

    Microtubules (MTs) are tubulin heterodimers that are arranged in a parallel shape of hollow cylinders which play roles in regulating the mechanical structure and dynamics of cells. Much of the structure and dynamics of MTs is highly ordered (1). In fact, microtubules were enable to be used as platforms to understand the mechanisms underlying liquid–liquid phase separation, some RNA binding proteins on microtubules leads to the formation of mRNA-rich liquid-like compartments on microtubules (2).
