A mechano-osmotic feedback couples cell volume to the rate of cell deformation

A mechano-osmotic feedback couples cell volume to the rate of cell deformation

Mechanics has been a central focus of physical biology in the past decade. In comparison, how cells manage their size is less understood. Here, we show that a parameter central to both the physics and the physiology of the cell, its volume, depends on a mechano-osmotic coupling. We found that cells...
