Life at the Leading Edge
Cell migration requires sustained forward movement of the plasma membrane at the cell's front or "leading edge." To date, researchers have uncovered four distinct ways of extending the membrane at the leading edge. In lamellipodia and filopodia, actin polymerization directly pushes the plasma membrane forward, whereas in invadopodia, actin polymerization couples with the extracellular delivery ...
متن کاملRealities at the leading edge of research.
When the Wright brothers set out to invent a flying machine at the end of the nineteenth century, they knew they were facing quite a challenge. Not only was it a daunting task to accomplish powered flight but also to overcome the ideology, morality and sensibility of their time, when most people believed that human flight was neither possible nor natural. Science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke...
متن کاملMetamaterials: A Leading Edge of Science and Technology
This review paper is based on the brief history, classification and utilities of metamaterial in various fields. An introduction to metamaterials followed by a detailed elaboration on how to design unprecedented electromagnetic properties of metamaterials is presented. Further we discussed the different structure approaches of metamaterials and their advantages. Finally, we offer an outlook on ...

متن کاملContact Angle at the Leading Edge Controls Cell Protrusion Rate
Plasma membrane tension and the pressure generated by actin polymerization are two antagonistic forces believed to define the protrusion rate at the leading edge of migrating cells [1-5]. Quantitatively, resistance to actin protrusion is a product of membrane tension and mean local curvature (Laplace's law); thus, it depends on the local geometry of the membrane interface. However, the role of ...
