Pulling lipid tubes from supported bilayers unveils the underlying substrate contribution to the membrane mechanicsElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available: Breakthrough force (Fb) values for different membrane chemical compositions. Ftube histograms for DOPC and DSPC SLBs at different tip retracting velocities. DOPC on PEG-grafted-mica preliminary studies. See DOI: 10.1039/c8nr03249a

Cell processes like endocytosis, membrane resealing, signaling and transcription involve conformational changes which depend on the chemical composition and the physicochemical properties of the lipid membrane. The better understanding of the mechanical role of lipids in cell membrane force-triggere...
