title: Kinesins lead aging microtubules to catastrophe.
abstract: The ability of growing microtubules to undergo catastrophes--abrupt switches from growth to shortening--is one of the key aspects of microtubule dynamics important for shaping cellular microtubule arrays. Gardner et al. show that catastrophes occur at a microtubule age-dependent rate and that depolymerizing kinesins can affect this process in fundamentally different ways.
