Filopodia and Viruses: An Analysis of Membrane Processes in Entry Mechanisms
9 Mar 2016
Abstract excerpt
Filopodia are thin, actin rich bundles protruding from cell plasma membranes, serving physiological purposes, such as probing the environment and facilitating cell-to-cell adhesion. Recent studies have highlighted that actively polymerized filopodial-protrusions are exploited during virus entry, trafficking, spread, and the development of clinical pathology of viral diseases. These observations have caused a...
