New insights into an enigmatic tumour suppressor

Dynamic regulation of the microtubule apparatus is central to cell division, cell migration, polarity and transport. New data demonstrating functional association of the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumour suppressor with microtubules provide a new lead in unravelling VHL tumour suppressor mechanisms.
