Clathrin-mediated endocytosis is a key process in vesicular trafficking that transports a wide
range of cargo molecules from the cell surface to the interior. Clathrin-mediated endocytosis …

Mechanical signalling affects multiple biological processes during development and in adult
organisms, including cell fate transitions, cell migration, morphogenesis and immune …

Altered tissue mechanics and metabolism are defining characteristics of cancer that impact
not only proliferation but also migration. While migrating through a mechanically and …

Cells and organelles are delimited by lipid bilayers in which high deformability is essential to
many cell processes, including motility, endocytosis and cell division. Membrane tension is …

Membrane tension is thought to be a long-range integrator of cell physiology. Membrane
tension has been proposed to enable cell polarity during migration through front-back …

Cell fate transitions are frequently accompanied by changes in cell shape and mechanics.
However, how cellular mechanics affects the instructive signaling pathways controlling cell …

Cells are constantly submitted to external mechanical stresses, which they must withstand
and respond to. By forming a physical boundary between cells and their environment that is …

Understanding interactions between nanoparticles (NPs) with biological matter, particularly
cells, is becoming increasingly important due to their growing application in medicine and …

The cell surface is a mechanobiological unit that encompasses the plasma membrane, its
interacting proteins, and the complex underlying cytoskeleton. Recently, attention has been …

Actin filaments polymerizing against membranes power endocytosis, vesicular traffic, and
cell motility. In vitro reconstitution studies suggest that the structure and the dynamics of actin …
