Mechanosensitivity of amoeboid cells crawling in 3D

F. Gaertner, P. Reis-Rodrigues, I. de Vries, M. Hons, J. Aguilera, M. Riedl, A. Leithner, J. Merrin, V. Zheden, W. A. Kaufmann, R. Hauschild, M. Sixt

This study shows how amoeboid cells use WASp-driven actin spikes to push against mechanical loads in 3D environments, enabling efficient migration through dense tissues.

The TPLATE complex mediates membrane bending during plant clathrin-mediated endocytosis

A. Johnson, D. A. Dahhan, N. Gnyliukh, W. A. Kaufmann, V. Zheden, T. Costanzo, P. Mahou, M. Hrtyan, J. Wang, J. Aguilera-Servin, D. Van Damme, E. Beaurepaire, M. Loose, S. Y. Bednarek, J. Friml

The paper identifies the TPLATE complex as a mediator of membrane bending in plant clathrin-mediated endocytosis, which occurs independently of actin and against high turgor pressure.

Tension-dependent stabilization of E-cadherin limits cell-cell contact expansion

J. Slovakova, M. Sikora, S. Caballero-Mancebo, G. S. Krens, C.-P. Heisenberg, W. A. Kaufmann, K. Huljev

The paper shows that cortical tension stabilizes E-cadherin at cell-cell contacts, limiting contact expansion beyond a critical tension threshold.
