The dynamic and structural properties of axonemal tubulins support the high length stability of cilia

The axoneme in cilia and flagella has exceptionally high stability despite being composed of microtubules that are known to be highly dynamic. Here authors extract tubulin from different components of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii axonemes and characterize their properties.
