Megakaryocytes assemble a three-dimensional cage of extracellular matrix that controls their maturation and anchoring to the vascular niche
Megakaryocytes form a three-dimensional (3D) cage composed of laminin and collagen IV connected to the basement membrane surrounding them. This microarchitecture stabilizes megakaryocytes within their ...

Cell control by membrane–cytoskeleton adhesion
For example, the endocytic machinery has to generate sufficient force to bend the membrane bilayer and form an endocytic vesicle. If the resistance of the plasma membrane — the load — is ...
