Cell cytoskeleton architecture

 

 

Manuel Théry and the CytoMorphoLab investigate the geometry and mechanics of cell cytoskeleton. Indeed, cells have a skeleton made of filaments. The spatial organization of these filaments and their dynamics of assembly direct cell shape and cell motion. To understand the rules regulating this intra-cellular architecture, the CytoMorphoLab develops some micro-engineered tools to manipulate cell shape and understand how cell cytoskeleton adapt and respond to these constraints. In particular, they investigate the mechanisms allowing cells to maintain or break their symmetry, notably in the case of stem cells.
