Figure 1 Adaptation of the Lamellipodium to Force (A) Under low load, the density of the actin network is low, and actin filament orientation is mostly perpendicular to the plasma membrane. (B) Under high load, the density of the actin network increases, and actin filaments are splayed with respect to the plasma membrane. (C) Actin network heterogeneity generated by load differentials applied to the lamellipodium could favor steering during motility.
