IntroductionThe mechanical properties of cell membranes affect various cellular events including cell division, migration, and vesicular transport 1,2) .This is because these cellular events involve deformation of the membrane, which requires proper membrane mechanics.Therefore, the mechanical properties of cell membranes must be adequately regulated in animal cells.The actin cortex, a cytoskeleton spreading over the inner surface of the plasma membrane, plays a central
Nagao et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
