Very happy to see our Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology Roadmap out! A fantastic collective effort, led by Carsten Janke and Zdenek Lansky, together with an amazing group of colleagues, and sparked by inspiring discussions at the Fondation des Treilles. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Towards a systems-level view of the microtubule cytoskeleton and its functions in physiology and disease - Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology

Microtubules are essential components of the cytoskeleton, yet important links between their molecular properties and organismal functions remain unresolved. In this Roadmap, Janke et al. discuss key ...

So called microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs) are not "organizing centers". They don't control their position (network center), nor MT orientation, length and shape (network shape). The actual organizers are MTs, molecular motors and regulators of MT +ends. MTOCs nucleate MTs. Let's rename MTOCs.

PCMD-1 stabilizes the PCM scaffold and facilitates centriole separation

Centrosome stability is essential for spindle bipolarity. Schreiner et al. show that CDK-1 primes PCMD-1 for PLK-1 phosphorylation. Mutations in PLK-1 dock
