Actin Networks: Adapting to Load through Geometry.

Curr Biol

Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research, Inhoffenstrasse 7, 38124 Braunschweig, Germany.

Published: December 2017

Cell migration frequently involves the protrusion of lamellipodial actin networks, the structure and regulation of which have been studied for decades. New work highlights how the geometry of these networks endows cells with the ability to adapt to environmental conditions and load.
