Active and passive membrane exchange reshape how cell surface clusters grow, study finds
Cellular membranes not only constitute a barrier, but they also accommodate a plethora of different molecules for sensing and ensuring cellular function.
AI Summary
Cellular membranes not only constitute a barrier, but they also accommodate a plethora of different molecules for sensing and ensuring cellular function. These molecules often cluster together, forming condensates embedded in the membrane. A team of physicists from MPI-DS investigated how the exchange of material with the interior of the cell affects the size and number of such clusters.
