## Abstract In toads __Xenopus laevis__ living at 11ยฐ (winter), the microtubular density of 4โฮผm myelinated axons of lumbosacral nerves was assessed with the electron microscope. In controls, the density was 11.2 microtubules/ฮผm^2^. In nerves incubated at 0ยฐ, microtubules decreased following a simp
Crude cytoplasmic extracts made from Xenopus eggs have proven to be uniquely useful in the studies of the mechanism of spindle microtubule assembly dynamics and chromosome movement during progression through the cell cycle. We examined microtubule dynamic instability in the Xenopus system using vide
