Fig. 2. Cortex thickness fluctuates in time.
(A) Typical temporal evolution of the cortex thickness of control cells (blue) and LatA-treated cells (purple) compared to the temporal evolution of the distance between bead surfaces inside (green) or outside (gray) cells. Acquisition rate is 1.25 Hz. Large fluctuations are visible in the measured cortex thickness of control cells (blue) but not in the other signals. (B) Amplitude of the cortex thickness fluctuations in control cells (blue, n = 67, N = 10) compared to the fluctuations of the distance between bead surfaces in LatA-treated cells (purple, n = 26, N = 5) and pairs of beads inside (green, n = 20, N = 13) or outside (gray, n = 69, N = 2) cells.
