Abstract

Tau is a neuronal microtubule bundler that is known to stabilize microtubules by promoting their growth and inhibiting their shrinkage. This study reveals novel mechanisms by which tau is able to switch microtubule network organizations via the differential regulation of microtubule bundling and dynamics.
