Investigation of the actin-membrane interaction at the leading edge and its influence on membrane diffusion

Actin polymerisation is a highly dynamic process which drives many cellular events, including endocytosis and cell motility. It is known that actin monomers are added to the filaments at the leading edge of a migrating cell and that this polymerisation is the driving force of protrusion. Much is kno...
