Caveolae are small membrane pits with fundamental roles in mechanotransduction. Several studies have shown that caveolae flatten out in response to increased membrane tension, thereby acting as a mechanosensitive membrane reservoir that buffers acute mechanical stress. Caveolae have also been implicated in the control of RhoA/ROCK-mediated actomyosin contractility at the rear of migrating cells. However, how membrane tension controls the organisation of caveolae and their role in mechanotransduc ...[more]
