Why is Microtubule Nucleation Important in Histology?
Understanding microtubule nucleation is crucial in histology for several reasons:
Cell structure and function: Microtubules are integral to maintaining cell shape, polarity, and intracellular transport. Cell division: Proper nucleation and organization of microtubules are essential for chromosome segregation during mitosis and meiosis. Disease implications: Abnormalities in microtubule nucleation can lead to diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and ciliopathies.
