Tight coupling between biochemical and mechanical properties of the actin cytoskeleton
drives a large range of cellular processes including polarity establishment, morphogenesis …

Cells are constantly submitted to external mechanical stresses, which they must withstand
and respond to. By forming a physical boundary between cells and their environment that is …

During endocytosis, energy is invested to narrow the necks of cargo-containing plasma
membrane invaginations to radii at which the opposing segments spontaneously coalesce …

BAR domain proteins contribute to membrane deformation in diverse cellular processes.
The inverted-BAR (I-BAR) protein IRSp53, for instance, is found on the inner leaflet of the …

Membrane scission is essential for intracellular trafficking. While BAR domain proteins such
