More About tubulin
Tubulin was found a long time ago. A man named Hideo Mōri found it in 1968. He saw how it helps cells. Now, we know it is very important.
Tubulin helps us in many ways. It helps our cells grow and stay strong. This is how our body works right. Without it, we could get sick.
Scientists are still learning about tubulin. They want to know more about how it helps us. This can help us find new ways to fight sickness.
