Optical Control of Microtubule Dynamics in Time and Space (original) (raw)

Cell, 2015

Abstract

Small molecule inhibitors of microtubule dynamics are widely used as cell biology research tools and clinically as cancer chemotherapeutics. By slight modification to the chemical structure of a known microtubule inhibitor, combretastatin A-4, Borowiak et al. develop a photoswitchable derivative that can be turned "on" and "off" with low-intensity light to spatially and temporally control microtubule dynamics.
