On the role of mechanosensitive binding dynamics in the pattern formation of active surfaces
The actin cortex of an animal cell is a thin polymeric layer attached to the inner side of the plasma membrane. It plays a key role in shape regulation and pattern formation on the cellular and tissue scale and, in particular, generates the contractile ring during cell division. Experimental studies...
