Abstract

The cytoskeleton is of great importance for cell division, cell shape, cell migration and intracellular transport. This thesis describes how one of the three main cytoskeletal networks, namely the microtubule (MT) network, is regulated by MT plus-end tracking proteins (+TIPs) named “Navigators”. Furthermore, it describes th
