Where this comes from

Abstract

In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, De Belly et al. (2021) and Bergert et al. (2021) reveal that membrane tension regulates the pluripotent state via endocytosis-mediated ERK signaling. These findings advance our understanding of naive pluripotency and highlight how cell mechanics are intertwined with molecular signaling to drive cell fate decisions.
