Automatic microtubule tracking in fluorescence images of cells doped with increasing concentrations of taxol and nocodazole.
The purpose of this paper is to provide an algorithm for detecting and tracking astral MTs in a fully automated way and supply a description of their dynamic behaviour. For the algorithm testing, a dataset of stacks (i.e. time-lapse image sequences), acquired with a confocal microscope, has been employed. Cells were treated with two different drugs, nocodazole and taxol, in order to explore their effect on microtubule dynamic instability.

Keeping up-to-date with research can feel impossible, with papers being published faster than you'll ever be able to read them. That's where Researcher comes in: we're simplifying discovery and making important discussions happen. With over 19,000 sources, including peer-reviewed journals, preprints, blogs, universities, podcasts and Live events across 10 research areas, you'll never miss what's important to you. It's like social media, but better. Oh, and we should mention - it's free.
Researcher displays publicly available abstracts and doesn’t host any full article content. If the content is open access, we will direct clicks from the abstracts to the publisher website and display the PDF copy on our platform. Clicks to view the full text will be directed to the publisher website, where only users with subscriptions or access through their institution are able to view the full article.
