How do the cells in our body reconfigure their shape to achieve complex tasks like migration
and mitosis, yet maintain their shape in response to forces exerted by, for instance, blood …

Organelles, ie, internal subcompartments of cells, are fundamental to spatially separate
cellular processes, while controlled intercompartment communication is essential for signal …

The actin cortex is a complex cytoskeletal machinery that drives and responds to changes in
cell shape. It must generate or adapt to plasma membrane curvature to facilitate diverse …

The cell's ability to change shape is a central feature in many cellular processes, including
cytokinesis, motility, migration, and tissue formation. The cell constructs a network of …

Cells going through mitosis undergo precisely timed changes in cell shape and
organisation, which serve to ensure the fair partitioning of cellular components into the two …

The actin-rich cortex plays a fundamental role in many cellular processes. Its architecture
and molecular composition vary across cell types and physiological states. The full …

In most bacteria, the tubulin‐like GTPase FtsZ forms an annulus at midcell (the Z‐ring) which
recruits the division machinery and regulates cell wall remodeling. Although both activities …

Cells have evolved sophisticated systems that integrate internal and external inputs to
coordinate cell shape changes during processes, such as development, cell identity …

Septins are a family of filament-forming GTP-binding proteins that regulate fundamental
cellular activities, such as cytokinesis and cell polarity. In general, septin filaments function …

Oscillating chemical reactions, encapsulated within artificial vesicles have been
demonstrated as a powerful analogy of living cells for the investigation of chemical …
