Abstractγ-Tubulin ring complex (γ-TuRC) is the major microtubule-nucleating factor. After nucleation, microtubules can be released from γ-TuRC and stabilized by other proteins, such as CAMSAPs, but the biochemical cross-talk between minus-end regulation pathways is poorly understood. Here we reconstituted this process in vitro using purified components. We found that all CAMSAPs could bind to the minus ends of γ-TuRC-attached microtubules.

Lately, I have realized that I have stopped having fun. For a month I have been applying to dozens of writing gigs without any success. It has been overwhelming and made me self doubt myself a lot.

During boring lectures at college, my mind used to wander in thousand different directions. Well, I think I am a good actor too since I was able to pretend well that I am understanding it all. But is it all a reality?

In 2017, I was very negative, constantly sad, an overthinker, and my thoughts were all over the place. I was working at a job where I was pushing myself hard to survive. I hated going to office but it was the only way I knew to survive. Amidst all this chaos, I was also struggling in my relationship. To sum it all up, I had a bad relationship, a bad career, worse mental health, a chaotic mind, and a fear that troubled me to the core. It was just too much and it was very heavy.
