Cell membranes resist flow [PDF]
Cell, 2018 SUMMARYThe fluid-mosaic model posits a liquid-like plasma membrane, which can flow in response to tension gradients. It is widely assumed that membrane flow transmits local changes in membrane tension across the cell in milliseconds. This conjectured signaling mechanism has been invoked to explain how cells coordinate changes in shape, motility, and ...
