Osmosis video - Microtubule inhibitors

Microtubules are a component of the cytoskeleton which are involved in cellular transport and cell division. Microtubule inhibitors work by disrupting the function of microtubules, which stops or slows down cell division and movement. This can be useful in cancer treatment, as it can stop or slow down the spread of cancer cells. Some common microtubule inhibitors include paclitaxel (Taxol) and vincristine.
