Reflecting significant advances in microtubule research during the past decade, a prominent group of contributors present reviews dealing with three central topics--the biochemistry and assembly of tubulin dimer; associated proteins and regulation of microtubule function; and microtubule organization and function in the cell.
Jeremy S. Hyams and Clive W. Lloyd are the authors of Microtubules, published by Wiley.
