Membrane Tether Formation

Membrane Tether Formation is a biophysical process in which a narrow, tubular extension of a lipid bilayer membrane is generated and stabilized through the application of localized mechanical forces, distinguished from other membrane deformations by its dependence on force-mediated lipid flow and cytoskeletal interactions to maintain structural integrity.
