Periodic Reporting for period 1 - MechanoSpectrin (Dynamic and Mechanical Role of Spectrin in Membrane-CytoskeletonInterplay)

The spectrin-based membrane skeleton is a major component of the cell cortex. While expressed by all metazoans, its dynamic interactions with the other cortex components, including the plasma membrane or the acto-myosin cytoskeleton, are poorly understood. Here, I investigated...
