Abstract in brief

The study explores how bacterial pathogens like Neisseria meningitidis can remodel the host cell membrane during infection through a physical process called onedimensional membrane wetting, which occurs independently of the actin cytoskeleton.
A theoretical model supports the idea that membrane wetting involves the membrane physically spreading along nanofibers, a process observed in both model membranes and human cells interacting with extracellular structures.
The researchers suggest that onedimensional wetting is a general principle by which cells interact with their nanoscale environment, and the bacteria hijack this process to facilitate infection.]
