Deskripsi
Podosomes are actin-based protrusions used by cells for invasion and local degradation but the structure underlying their protrusiveness and mechanosensitivity is unclear. Here, the authors report that podosomes have a modular actin nano-architecture whose organization differs on stiff or soft substrates.
