@juanmagararc shows that plasma membrane tension gradients are spontaneously formed in adherent cells. Unexpected because of membrane fluidity, cells combine adhesion to limit lipid diffusion and branched actin polymerization to increase tension at the cell edge, bravo Juanma!
🧵 Excited to share our latest preprint on bioRxiv: "Actin Dynamics Sustain Spatial Gradients of Membrane Tension in Adherent Cells"! 🚀🧬 In this thread, we dive into the fascinating world of membranes biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #CellBiology #Biophysics 1/12
