IJM Seminar – Ivana Gasic – 11/07/2023

Invited by Paul Conduit, Ivana Gasic will present and IJM seminar on the theme: Autoregulated control of tubulin mRNA stability Abstract :  Microtubule cytoskeleton plays crucial roles in cellular architecture, intracellular transport, and mitosis. The availability of free tubulin subunits impacts polymerization dynamics and microtubule function. When cells sense excess free tubulin, they stop further tubulin biosynthesis…
