Description
Ziluo Zhang and colleagues set out a new frame for how cells link movement and fuel in a 2026 review. Each cell holds a scaffold of actin threads that gives it shape and lets it move. Cells also burn sugar for quick fuel, a process called glycolysis. The two systems talk to each other both ways. Proteins that bind the scaffold sit at the crossroads of that talk. The review pulls recent work into one model of the loop.
In their model, scaffold-binding proteins relay force signals into fuel choices. Fuel flow, in turn, feeds back to reshape the scaffold. The authors trace the signal chains step by step in several cell settings. They flag where studies clash and which questions stay open. The frame spans from outside force on a cell to its final behavior. They suggest it may guide care for cancers and scarring diseases.
