Biological processes in any physiological environment involve changes in cell
shape, which must be accommodated by their physical envelope--the bilayer
membrane. However, the fundamental biophysical principles by which the cell
membrane allows for and responds to shape changes remain unclear. Here we show
that the 3D remodelling of the membrane in response to a broad diversity of
physiological perturbations can be explained by a purely mechanical process. This
process is passive, local, almost instantaneous, before any active remodelling
and generates different types of membrane invaginations that can repeatedly store
and release large fractions of the cell membrane. We further demonstrate that the
shape of those invaginations is determined by the minimum elastic and adhesive
energy required to store both membrane area and liquid volume at the
cell-substrate interface. Once formed, cells reabsorb the invaginations through
an active process with duration of the order of minutes.
