CRC 1348 A06 - Force-control in neurons via curved membrane nanodomains
Basic data for this project
Type of project: Subproject in DFG-joint project hosted at University of Münster
Duration at the University of Münster: 01/01/2018 - 31/12/2021 | 1st Funding period
Description
The project studies receptor-independent signaling platforms, where mechanical forces at the PM are translated into classical biochemical signal transduction cascades via nanoscale membrane deformations. This type of mechano-chemical signal translation at cellular membranes relies on recruitment of curvature-sensitive signaling molecules. Here we aim to investigate how transiently forming curved PM nanodomains regulate actin-based forces in developing mouse neurons.
