Expression levels of a kinesin-13 microtubule depolymerase modulates the effectiveness of anti-microtubule agents.

Chemotherapeutic drugs often target the microtubule cytoskeleton as a means to disrupt cancer cell mitosis and proliferation. Anti-microtubule drugs inhibit microtubule dynamics, thereby triggering apoptosis when dividing cells activate the mitotic checkpoint. Microtubule dynamics are regulated by m...
