Abstract
The molecular mechanism of microtubule bundling has been enveloped in controversy for the past few years. At the centre of the debate are MAPs: are they necessary for the formation of microtubule bundles? In this article, Gloria Lee and Roland Brandt weigh the evidence and propose that microtubule stability might be the crucial factor in microtubule bundling. Perhaps then MAPs might act as spacer molecules between microtubules.Entities:
