Epithelial cells sacrifice excess area to preserve fluidity in response to external mechanical stress

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Jonathan F. E. Bodenschatz from the Universitu00e4t have published the article: Epithelial cells sacrifice excess area to preserve fluidity in response to external mechanical stress, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of 11/04/2022
• what: The authors investigate how cells respond mechanically to external cues by directly targeting their excess surface area. The authors focused on the viscoelastic response of confluent MDCK II cells to cholesterol extraction and removal of surface reservoirs from the apical side (Fig 4). The authors compare the viscoelastic response of a spread MDCK II cell with that of an actin . . .
