Filopodia are thin, actin-rich cellular protrusions that play an important role in many fundamental cellular functions. They vary in their…
![Cell Motility through Blebbing](https://jovecdn2.ccindex.cn/files/media/science-education/science-education-thumbs/12256.jpg)
Blebs are a type of membrane protrusion formed by the internal hydrostatic pressure of the cytoplasm. Blebs are observed in several cell types,…
![Role of Myosin in Cell Migration](https://jovecdn2.ccindex.cn/files/media/science-education/science-education-thumbs/12257.jpg)
Myosins are multimeric motor proteins involved in various cellular processes such as migration, adhesion, and proliferation. Myosin II is the most…
