Optogenetic control of actin crosslinker length reveals a mechanical basis for cortical symmetry breaking
Cell shape changes during migration, division, or differentiation require the dynamic regulation of actin network mechanics. Actin crosslinkers are central to this regulation, controlling network connectivity and the transmission of contractile forces. A large diversity of crosslinkers exists, differing in length, doma...
