Plasma membrane folding enables constant surface area-to-volume ratio in growing mammalian cells
2024-07-04
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> All cells are subject to geometric constraints, including the surface area-to-volume (SA/V) ratio, which can limit nutrient uptake, maximum cell size, and cell shape changes. Like the SA/V ratio of a sphere, it is generally assumed that the SA/V ratio of cells decreases as cell size increases. However, the structural complexity of the plasma membrane makes studies of the surface area challenging...
