Abstract excerpt
The activity of filopodia and lamellipodia determines the advance, motility, adhesion, and sensory capacity of neuronal growth cones. The shape and dynamics of these highly motile structures originate from the continuous reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton in response to extracellular signals. The small GTPases, Rac1, Rho, and CDC42, regulate the organization of actin filament structures in nonneuronal...
