The role of membrane curvature in nanoscale topography-induced intracellular signaling by Lou, Hsin-Ya, Zhao, Wenting, Zeng, Yongpeng, Cui, Bianxiao

“…However, a mechanistic understanding of how cells interact and respond to nanoscale topographic features is still lacking. In this Account, we focus on some recent studies that support a new mechanism that local membrane curvature induced by nanoscale topography directly acts as a biochemical signal to induce intracellular signaling, which we refer to as the curvature hypothesis. …”
