Abstract
Past research has long hinted at a connection between microtubules and the growth of the heart. Here, we highlight a new role for microtubules in directing cardiomyocyte hypertrophy by altering protein translation and intercellular adhesion and discuss how these findings illuminate open questions in cardiac remodeling.
期刊介绍:
Trends in Cell Biology stands as a prominent review journal in molecular and cell biology. Monthly review articles track the current breadth and depth of research in cell biology, reporting on emerging developments and integrating various methods, disciplines, and principles. Beyond Reviews, the journal features Opinion articles that follow trends, offer innovative ideas, and provide insights into the implications of new developments, suggesting future directions. All articles are commissioned from leading scientists and undergo rigorous peer-review to ensure balance and accuracy.
