Abstract:

We conceive stripped-down experimental systems that reproduce cellular behaviours in simplified conditions: cytoskeleton dynamics are reproduced on liposome membranes. By changing experimentally membrane tension and the structural details of the cytoskeleton architecture, we draw a phase diagram where inward or outward deformations are favoured. We observe buckling and wrinkling under osmotic deflation, thereby confirming network elastic properties. Our results illustrate the generic mechanism of buckling and wrinkling found in various systems spanning from pollen grains to the development of the gut or the brain.

Inspired by actin forces exerted on membranes and organelles, we address now how the nucleus, which is the most rigid cell organelle, is deformed by the actin cytoskeleton during cell translocation.
