A Microfluidic Platform for Actin-Based Membrane Remodeling Reveals the Stabilizing Role of Branched Actin Networks on Lipid Microdomains. [PDF]
Small SciA microfluidic assay to study actin‐driven shape changes of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) is developed. This system enables high‐throughput analysis of membrane remodeling and reveals how actin networks and lipid domains influence each other. It offers a powerful tool to dissect membrane deformation mechanisms in controlled environments. Cell shape
