Abstract

A recent article by Tsujita et al. (2015) in Nature Cell Biology provides insight into how cells sense and translate plasma membrane tension toward polarized actin polymerization and migration. They identify FBP17 as a multifunctional adaptor that senses membrane curvature and delivers feedback to actin dynamics and directed cell migration.
