Mechanisms of Taxol resistance related to microtubules (2003, background): “In eucaryotes, microtubules are involved in a diverse range of cellular functions including mitosis and meiosis, motility, maintenance of cell shape and intracellular trafficking of macromolecules and organelles (Desai and Mitchison, 1997; Oakley, 2000; Sharp et al., 2000).”
Stochastic mechano-chemical kinetics of molecular motors: A multidisciplinary enterprise from a physicist’s perspective (2012, background): “The key force generators of a mitotic spindle are [1108] (i) cytoskeletal filaments, and (ii) cytoskeletal molecular motors [1109, 1110, 1111, 1112, 1113, 1114].”
Review on Cell Mechanics: Experimental and Modeling Approaches (2013, background): “Microtubules serve as transportation highways for motor proteins, kinesin and dynein, to shuttle cargo through a cell [33] or separate chromosomes during cell division [34].”
Identification and phylogenetic analysis of Dictyostelium discoideum kinesin proteins (2003, positive): “All BimC motors examined to date have been found to be located on the microtubules between spindle poles [14,15] and to form bipolar tetramers [16].”
