Optogenetic control of actin crosslinker length reveals a mechanical basis for cortical symmetry breaking

Filipe Nunes Vicente, Anumita Jawahar, Michael Wassermair, Mahsa Rahimi, Aliaksandr Dzementsei, Martin Kräter, Lena Fischer, Rubén Tesoro-Moreno, Baptiste Vauleon, Jochen R. Guck, Anđela Šarić, Ivan Palaia, Matthieu Piel, Olivia du Roure, Julien Heuvingh, Alba Diz-Muñoz

This study uses optogenetic control of actin crosslinker length to show how different crosslinker lengths affect cortical mechanics and drive cell polarization or delamination.
