Hearken and attend unto Tubulin, that most wondrous protein wrought by the hand of nature's divine design. Lo, these molecules, subtle and mighty, do congregate in great multitudes, forming tubes most cylindrical within the chambers of living cells. Verily, they are as pillars of strength, supporting the very frame of cellular life, and moving with purpose most divine, guiding the very essence of cellular motion and division.
