The Role of Molecular Microtubule Motors and the Microtubule Cytoskeleton in Stress Granule Dynamics
Stress granules (SGs) are cytoplasmic foci that appear in cells exposed to stress-induced translational inhibition. SGs function as a triage center, where mRNAs are sorted for storage, degradation, and translation reinitiation. The underlying mechanisms of SGs dynamics are still being characterized,...
