Article Synopsis
- Recent findings show that the microtubule cytoskeleton reorganizes during the apoptosis process, with a unique structure that forms independently of traditional nucleation mechanisms.
- This reformation creates a cortical ring around cells, while other cytoskeletal components break down, highlighting the microtubules' role in maintaining plasma membrane integrity.
- Experiments indicate that microtubule formation during apoptosis occurs regardless of caspase activation but requires intracellular calcium, suggesting its critical function in cell death.
