Network heterogeneity regulates steering in actin-based motility

Protrusive cellular structures contain a heterogeneous density of actin, but whether this influences motility is not known. Using an in vitro system and modelling, here the authors show that local actin monomer depletion and network architecture can tune the rate of network growth to impose steering...

Description
Résumé:Protrusive cellular structures contain a heterogeneous density of actin, but whether this influences motility is not known. Using an in vitro system and modelling, here the authors show that local actin monomer depletion and network architecture can tune the rate of network growth to impose steering during motility.
