The membrane-actin linkers ezrin, radixin, and moesin are dispensable for macrophage migration and cortex mechanics.

P. Verdys, J. Rey Barroso, J. Vermeil, M. Bergert, T. Sanchez, A. Metais, T. Mangeat, E. Bellard, C. Bigot, J.-P. Girard, I. Maridonneau-Parini, C. Verollet, F. Lagarrigue, A. Diz-Munoz, J. Heuvingh, , R. Poincloux

This study shows that ezrin, radixin, and moesin are not required for macrophage migration or actin cortex mechanics, challenging their universal importance in these processes.

The distance between the plasma membrane and the actomyosin cortex acts as a nanogate to control cell surface mechanics

S. Lembo, L. Strauss, W. C. D. Cheng, J. Vermeil, M. Siggel, M. Toro-Nahuelpan, C. J. Chan, J. Kosinski, M. Piel, O. Du Roure, J. Heuvingh, J. Mahamid, A. Diz-Munoz

The paper shows that the distance between the plasma membrane and actomyosin cortex, controlled by MCA proteins, acts as a nanogate regulating actin nucleation and cell surface mechanics.

Pinching the cortex of live cells reveals thickness instabilities caused by Myosin II motors

V. LAPLAUD, N. Levernier, J. Pineau, M. San-Roman, L. Barbier, P. J. Saez, A.-M. Lennon-Dumenil, P. Vargas, K. Kruse, O. DU ROURE, M. Piel, J. Heuvingh

The paper measures cortical thickness in live cells using magnetic beads and finds it is dynamic and fluctuates due to actomyosin contractility.
