DOI: 10.1103/physreve.106.054408
Abstract: A characteristic feature of nondividing animal cells is the radial organization of microtubules (MTs), emanating from a single microtubule organizing center (MTOC). As generically these cells are not spherically symmetric, this raises the question of… read more here.
