Adhesion to nanofibers drives cell membrane remodeling through one-dimensional wetting

Meningococci remodel the plasma membrane of host cells during infection. Here, Charles-Orszag et al. show that plasma membrane remodeling occurs independently of F-actin, along meningococcal type IV pili fibers, by a physical mechanism that they term ‘one-dimensional’ membrane wetting.
