Figure 1. Principles of MT asymmetry.

Figure 1

Radial array (top) can be transformed into asymmetric network by 1) modulations of MT dynamics, 2) re-positioning of existing MTs, 3) directional MT formation at alternative MT nucleation sites (bottom, right) and/or 4) repositioning of MTOCs within a cell.
