Optogenetic control of actin crosslinker length reveals a mechanical basis for cortical symmetry breaking

Cell shape changes during migration, division, or differentiation require the dynamic regulation of actin network mechanics. Actin crosslinkers are central to this regulation, controlling network connectivity and the transmission of contractile forces. A large diversity of crosslinkers exists, differing in length, doma...

Softer when Thicker: a Conserved Scaling Law Governs Actin Cortex Mechanics

Scaling laws are powerful tools in material science to relate geometric and mechanical properties of materials. The actin cortex, a dynamic network beneath the plasma membrane, is essential for cellular morphogenesis, force generation, and tissue organization. Despite its critical role, the mechanical properties of the...
