An interdisciplinary team has successfully reverse engineered the components and sequence of events that lead to microtubule branching. Scientists have known that microtubule branching is key to assembling spindles and making connections between cell components. Researchers have spent six years confirming which proteins are the key components of microtubule production, and now they have discovered the sequence as well, completing the molecular ”recipe” for microtubule branching.
