Microtubules Growth Rate Alteration in Human Endothelial Cells

Table 2

Microtubule plus ends growth rate in different areas of human EC.

Position	Growth rate* (𝜇m/min)
Centrosome region	16.7±0.3 (𝑛=82)
Cell margin	12.9±0.1 ** (𝑛=300)

∗Instantaneous rates measured from positions of EB3-GFP dashes in sequential frames of a time-lapse series.
∗∗Significant difference from centrosome region at 95% confidence level. Student’s 𝑡-test was used for statistical analysis.
𝑛 = number of microtubules.
