Cortical Actomyosin Breakage Triggers Shape Oscillations in Cells and Cell Fragments

Cell shape and movements rely on complex biochemical pathways that regulate actin, microtubules, and substrate adhesions. Some of these pathways act through altering the cortex contractility. Here we examined cellular systems where contractility is enhanced by disassembly of the microtubules. We fou...
