Cell mechanics and signalisation: SARS-CoV-2 hijacks membrane liquid crystals and cytoskeletal fractal topology

Abstract

We highlight changes to cell signalling under virus invasion (SARS-CoV-2), involving disturbance of membranes and of nanodomains, modulated by the cytoskeleton. Virus alters the mechanical properties of the membranes, impairing mesophase structures mediated by the fractal architecture initiated by actomyosin.
