Intracellular transport involves membrane compartments and thus requires dynamic changes in the morphology of cell membranes. In this case, membrane tubes are formed whose radius is of the order of several tens of nanometers. We develop biomimetic systems based on model lipid membranes to decipher the mechanisms of membrane remodelling in particular under the action of the actin cytoskeleton. The mechanics of membrane nanotubes, especially the force needed to form and maintain a nanotube, are now well understood. The force depends on the curvature elasticity of the membrane and on its mechanical tension that is controlled in our experiment by micropipette aspiration. By using a four-quadrant diode, we obtain an unprecedented temporal resolu...
