This project investigates the mechanisms of membrane fission during cellular processes like endocytosis and cytokinesis. It aims to identify the physical principles governing these reactions to better understand cell division and material uptake.
The envelope of living cell is a lipid membrane.
It is rather difficult to break, to ensure cell survival when under mechanical stress.
However, in many events of cell life, the membrane needs to be broken in a controlled manner.
It is the case in Endocytosis, when membrane carriers budding from the plasma membrane need to be separated from the plasma membrane, in order to uptake external components needed for the cell life.
This reaction is called fission.
It is also the case at the final step…
