Cell volume and shape are stringently regulated. This homeostasis requires the cells to sense their size and shape and to convey this information to effectors that will counteract deformations induced by osmotic or mechanical challenges. The sensors, transducers, and effectors of volume change are the subject of this review.
细胞体积和形状受到严格调控。这种稳态要求细胞感知其大小和形状,并将此信息传递给效应器,以抵消由渗透或机械挑战引起的变形。体积变化的传感器、换能器和效应器是本综述的主题。
