Trade-off between Plasticity and Velocity in Mycelial Growth.

Tip-growing fungal cells maintain cell polarity at the apical regions and elongate by synthesis of the cell wall. Cell polarity and tip growth rate affect mycelial morphology. However, it remains unclear how both features act cooperatively to determine cell shape.

The spindle pole body of is asymmetrical and contains changing numbers of γ-tubulin complexes.

Centrosomes are important microtubule-organizing centers (MTOCs) in animal cells. In addition, non-centrosomal MTOCs (ncMTOCs) are found in many cell types. Their composition and structure are only poorly understood.
