Actin pool controls the scaling of dynamic actin networks

Scaling is a fundamental property of living systems, allowing cells to match the size of their internal components to their volume. The size and shape of cells depend largely on the actin cytoskeleton, whose dynamic self-assembling structures are central to this adaptation. Yet how they self-assemble in a volume-dependent manner remains unresolved. To address this question, we used a biomimetic…
