Reconstitution of actomyosin networks in cell-sized liposomes dissects distinct mechanisms of membrane blebbing and symmetry breaking

The actin cortex, a thin layer of actomyosin network beneath the plasma membrane, regulates various cell functions by generating active forces and inducing membrane deformations, including blebs. Although upstream signaling is involved in regulating cell shape, the extent to which downstream actomyosin molecules can co...
