Myosin IIA and formin dependent mechanosensitivity of filopodia adhesion

Fiolopodia are involved in cell migration and their attachment to the ECM is mediated by integrin receptors. Here the authors show that myosin X induced filipodia adhesion to fibronectin requires activity of myosin IIA at the filopodium base and formin at the tip to support force transmission throug...
