Dynamic actin cross-linking governs the cytoplasm’s transition to fluid-like behavior
Keyword(s):
Cells constantly adapt their mechanics in response to mechanical and biochemical cues to migrate, divide, and organize into tissues. We developed new methods to probe the viscoelasticity of the cytoplasm and found that the binding kinetics of proteins that cross-link actin filaments control the transition from an elastic to a fluid-like network.
