Characteristics of a Membrane Reservoir Buffering Membrane Tension

When membrane-attached beads are pulled vertically by a laser tweezers, a membrane tube of constant diameter (tether) is formed. We found that the force on the bead (tether force) did not depend on tether length over a wide range of tether lengths, which indicates that a previously unidentified rese...
