Abstract
Membrane tension has been proposed to mechanically couple processes along the cell's boundary. In this issue of Cell, De Belly et al. show that local protrusion or contraction elicit a global membrane tension increase within seconds, whereas tension perturbations that engage only the membrane remain localized.
