Microtubules orchestrate local translation to enable cardiac growth
New contractile units are required during cardiac hypertrophy, though it remains unclear precisely where and how these new sarcomeres are added. Here the authors reveal that in the heart, microtubules spatiotemporally regulate mRNAs and ribosomes to build new sarcomeres, a role which is essential fo...
