Cell membrane tension affects and is affected by many fundamental cellular processes, yet it is poorly understood. Recent experiments show that membrane tension can propagate at vastly different speeds in different cell types, reflecting physiological adaptations. Here we briefly review the current knowledge about membrane tension gradients, membrane flows, and their physiological context.
细胞膜张力会影响许多基本的细胞过程，同时也会受到这些过程的影响，但人们对此知之甚少。最近的实验表明，细胞膜张力在不同的细胞类型中可以以截然不同的速度传播，反映了生理适应性。本文简要回顾了关于细胞膜张力梯度、膜流动及其生理背景的现有知识。
