Inhibiting ezrin triggers formin-mediated actin remodelling reducing cellular mechano-protection

Ananya Biswas, Rinku Kumar, T N Husain…·Bidisha Sinha

This study shows that inhibiting ezrin reduces mechano-protection in cells by altering actin organization and increasing stress fibre formation, which is mitigated by formin inhibition.

Regulation of thickness of actomyosin cortex in well-spread cells by contractility and spread area

Rinku Kumar, Bidisha Sinha

This study quantifies actomyosin cortex thickness in well-spread cells and finds that reducing contractility or spread area increases cortex thickness and variability.
