Cell Cortex Mechanics

Cell Cortex Mechanics is a theoretical framework that characterizes the mechanical behavior and dynamic regulation of the submembranous actomyosin network in animal cells, distinguishing it from broader cytoskeletal models by specifically addressing cortical tension, viscoelasticity, and force generation at the cell periphery.
