Molecular catch bonds are ubiquitous in biology and essential for processes like leucocyte extravasion<sup>1</sup> and cellular mechanosensing<sup>2</sup>. Unlike normal (slip) bonds, catch bonds strengthen under tension. The current paradigm is that this feature provides ‘strength on demand<sup>3</sup>’, thus enabling cells to increase...

We study the role of a biomimetic actin network during the application of electric pulses that induce electroporation or electropermeabilization, using giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) as a model system. The actin cortex, a subjacently attached interconnected network of actin filaments, regulates the shape and mechanical properties of the...
