New Preprint! How can cells polarize in the absence of a stimulus? We suggest a surprising biophysical mechanism, protein caging!
We reveal how the complex mechanical interactions at the cell surface lead to symmetry breaking.

www.biorxiv.org Caging of membrane-to-cortex attachment proteins can trigger cellular symmetry breaking To migrate, divide, and change shape, cells must regulate the mechanics of their periphery. The cell surface is a complex structure that consists of a thin, contractile cortical actin network... Check out the article that Dr. Laura @lmac_daniel

www.life-science-alliance.org Lipotype acquisition during neural development is not recapitulated in stem cell–derived neurons During development, different tissues acquire distinct lipotypes that are coupled to tissue function and homeostasis. In the brain, where complex membrane trafficking systems are required for neural...
