Properties of the force exerted by filopodia and lamellipodia and the involvement of cytoskeletal components.

During neuronal differentiation, lamellipodia and filopodia explore the environment in search for the correct path to the axon's final destination. Although the motion of lamellipodia and filopodia has been characterized to an extent, little is known about the force they exert. In this study, w...
