In this issue, Ayukawa, Iwata, Imai, and colleagues (2021. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202007033) use rapid temporal and high-spatial-resolution electron microscopy imaging to examine the earliest stages of new microtubule nucleation. They discover that straightening of curved tubulin oligomers increases the efficiency of microtubule nucleation.

需要拉直以使新的微管成核。

在本期中，Ayukawa，Iwata，Imai及其同事（2021. J. Cell Biol.https：//doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202007033）使用快速的时空和高空间分辨率电子显微镜成像来检查最早的微管成核的新阶段。他们发现弯曲微管蛋白低聚物的拉直可以提高微管成核的效率。
