This study shows enzyme activity enhances ligand diffusion and receptor-mediated endocytosis by generating mechanical fluctuations in the extracellular matrix.

This study identifies a non-canonical receptor-like mechanism where CTR1 clusters on the plasma membrane in response to copper, modulating membrane properties to facilitate endocytosis.

This paper maps apico-basal membrane tension gradients in HeLa cells using optical traps and shows that actin contractility and endocytosis are key factors in creating these tension patterns.
