The addition of tubulin heterodimers to one or both ends of a microtubule. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of microtubule polymerization or depolymerization by the addition or removal of tubulin heterodimers from a microtubule. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of microtubule polymerization or depolymerization. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of microtubule polymerization or depolymerization. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of cytoskeletal structures. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of cytoskeletal structures comprising microtubules and their associated proteins. Any cellular process that depends upon or alters the microtubule cytoskeleton, that part of the cytoskeleton comprising microtubules and their associated proteins. Assembly or disassembly of microtubules by the addition or removal of tubulin heterodimers from a microtubule. The removal of tubulin heterodimers from one or both ends of a microtubule.
