Actin dynamics sustains spatial gradients of membrane tension in adherent cells

Juan Manuel GARCIA ARCOS, Amine Mehidi, Julissa J. Sánchez‐Velásquez, Pau Guillamat, Caterina Tomba, Laura Houzet, Laura Capolupo, Javier Espadas, Giovanni D’Angelo, Adai Colom, Elizabeth Hinde, Charlotte Aumeier, Aurélien Roux

The paper demonstrates that adherent cells maintain spatial gradients of membrane tension through actin dynamics and membrane-cortex attachments, with tension lowest at adhesion edges and highest at protrusions.
