(Goethe University Frankfurt) Lamellipodia and filopodia are dynamic surface extensions of the cell which play a pivotal role in cell migration, invasion and wound healing.
Biochemists from Frankfurt University have succeeded in clarifying the interplay between the two types of protrusions in regulating both the migratory and invasive abilities of cancer cells.
They hope to exploit their exciting findings for the development of more specific cancer therapies.
