Septins recognize micron-scale membrane curvature

How cells recognize membrane curvature is not fully understood. In this issue, Bridges et al. (2016. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201512029) discover that septins, a component of the cytoskeleton, recognize membrane curvature at the micron scale, a common morphological hallmark of euk...
