  abstract = {We review and model the experimental parameters which characterize
	elastic properties of microtubules. Three macroscopic estimates are
	made of the anisotropic elastic moduli, accounting for the molecular
	forces between tubulin dimers: for a longitudinal compression of
	a microtubule, for a lateral force and for a shearing force. These
	estimates reflect the anisotropies in these parameters observed in
	several recent experiments.},
