Abstract: Eukaryotic cells intrinsically change their shape, by changing the composition of their membrane and by restructuring their underlying cytoskeleton. We present here further studies and extensions of a minimal physical model, describing a closed vesicle… read more here.

Abstract: Filopodia are actin-rich membrane protrusions essential for cell morphogenesis, motility, and cancer invasion. How cells control filopodia initiation on the plasma membrane remains elusive. We performed experiments in cellulo, in vitro and in silico to… read more here.
