Microtubule Polymerization Process
Microtubule polymerization is a cellular process typically, though not solely, involved in cell motility and cell division. Stabilization of microtubule polymerization causes interruption of mitosis and is the mode of action of several antineoplastic agents. (NCI Thesaurus)
