Cell adhesion and spreading on fluid membranes through microtubules-dependent mechanotransduction by Oleg Mikhajlov, Ram M. Adar, Maria Tătulea-Codrean, Anne-Sophie Macé, John Manzi, Fanny Tabarin, Aude Battistella, Fahima di Federico, Jean-François Joanny, Guy Tran van Nhieu, Patricia Bassereau

“…Unlike SLBs functionalized with RGD peptides, integrin clusters on Invasin-SLBs grow in size and complexity comparable to those on glass. While actomyosin contraction dominates adhesion maturation on stiff substrates, we find that on fluid SLBs, integrin mechanotransduction and cell spreading rely on dynein pulling forces along microtubules perpendicular to the membranes and microtubules pushing on adhesive complexes, respectively. …”
