Mapping and Modeling the Nanomechanics of Bare and Protein-Coated Lipid Nanotubes
Membrane nanotubes are continuously assembled and disassembled by the cell to generate and dispatch transport vesicles, for instance, in endocytosis. While these processes crucially involve the ill-understood local mechanics of the nanotube, existing micromanipulation assays only give access to its...
