- Abstract
- Robust coordination of surface and volume changes is critical for cell integrity. Few studies have elucidated the plasma membrane (PM) remodeling events during drastic cell surface and volume alteration, especially regarding PM sensing and its subsequent rearrangements.
We propose a cellular strategy that combines instantaneous non-vesicular lipid transfer with bulk exocytic membrane delivery to maintain PM integrity for dramatic cell surface/volume adaptation.
