SBGrid's eLife paper received a citation in April from Antonina Roll-Mecak from the The National Institutes of Health in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology: Microtubules in the axon are GDP bound but adopt a stable GTP-like expanded state.

Microtubules in the axon are GDP bound but adopt a stable GTP-like expanded state - Nature Structural & Molecular Biology
Zehr et al. revealed the 2.7-Å cryo-electron microscopy reconstruction of human microtubules in situ in the axon of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPS cell)-derived neurons. It shows an expanded microtubule lattice yet bound to GDP, in contrast to the compacted lattice observed at the iPS cell stage.
