Mutual inhibition between PTEN and PIP3 generates bistability for polarity in motile cells

PIP3 and its phosphatase (PTEN) are enriched mutually exclusively on the anterior and posterior membranes of eukaryotic motile cells. Here authors manipulate PIP3 level and use single-molecule imaging to show that PIP3 suppresses the membrane localization of PTEN.
