Microtubule "plus-end-tracking proteins": the end is just the beginning
Article Abstract:
The authors review publications on the microtubule polymers, the building materials in the cells. The topics of interest include the accessory factors termed plus-end-tracking proteins, the control by these proteins of the local microtubule assembly and the attachment of the microtubules to the cell membrane.

Functional link between the mammalian exosome and mRNA decapping
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on the mammalian mRNA turnover. Results indicate that this turnover can proceed via the coupled 3' to 5' exoribonuclease degradation-dependent decapping pathway.
