Exploring Membrane Phase Separation Dynamics Modulated by Active Actin Networks
Animal cells continually reshape and reorganize their surfaces to facilitate growth and development. The cell surface is a thin (~ 10 nm), essentially two-dimensional complex fluid. Its basic structure is provided by a lipid membrane. Notably, this membrane can undergo phase transition, giving rise to nano-scaled lipid domains [1]. These lipid domains play a crucial…
