“…+TIPs and their minus-end-associated counterparts (−TIPs) (Akhmanova and Hoogenraad, 2015), provides opportunities to test microtubule functions in 3D cell migration in a more specific way. Finally, the development of light-sheet microscopy and its recent application to microtubule plus-end dynamics in 3D (Chen et al, 2014;Wu et al, 2013;Yamashita et al, 2015) combined with the development of more sophisticated 3D tissue models, such as organoids (Shamir and Ewald, 2014), or with microfabricated and microfluidic devices (Paul et al, 2016), has initiated a new era of cytoskeletal studies in live cells that migrate in 3D environments. Important questions for future research include how microtubule-actin interactions, microtubule-related signaling, adhesion regulation and trafficking, and mechanical properties within soft 3D matrices compare to what is known from decades of 2D biology.…”
