Like other eukaryotic cells, neurons have a cytoskeleton that consists of three main polymers: microtubules (green), intermediate filaments (purple) and actin filaments (red). Microtubules emanate ...

(A) In a cell, motility is initiated by an actin-dependent protrusion of the cell’s leading edge, which is composed of armlike structures called lamellipodia and filopodia. These protrusive ...
