title: Cytoskeleton: CLASPing the end to the edge.
abstract: Microtubules play a critical role in establishing asymmetry in many cell types. Recent work suggests how conserved protein complexes that bind specifically to the growing ends of microtubules may establish polarized links to special regions of the cell cortex.
