Investigating BRCA2 and MCAK Interactions with a Microtubule Depolymerisation Assay (infocus #73 March 2024)

Eukaryotic cells have a cytoskeletal structure which helps to maintain shape and organise components of the cell.

DOI: 10.22443/rms.inf.1.266

The cytoskeleton provides mechanical support that enables cells to carry out essential functions like division and movement. The key components of the cytoskeleton are microtubules, actin filaments, and intermediate filaments. This project explored how microtubules are built up and broken down dynamically inside eukaryotic cells, contributing to the constantly changing cellular environment and helping with cell division.
