Filopodia (sg.: filopodium) are
slender cytoplasmic projections that
extend beyond the
leading edge of
lamellipodia in
migrating cells.
Within the lamellipodium...

Dendritic filopodia are small,
membranous protrusions found primarily on
dendritic stretches of
developing neurons.
These structures may
receive synaptic...

classified by
their distinct appearances.
Lamellipodia are
broad and thin.
Filopodia are slender, thread-like, and are
supported largely by microfilaments...
-
morphology controlled by Rho
proteins is the
formation of
lamellipodia and
filopodia,
projecting processes that look like "fingers" or "feet" and

cancer metastasis.
Filopodia have been
given various names: microspikes, pseudopods, thin
filopodia,
thick filopodia, gliopodia, myopodia, invadopodia...
- unbranched,
granular filopodia. They lack cilia, have a
spherical shape of
around 3 μm in diameter, and
extend about six
extremely thin
filopodia that lie flat...

abundance of
intercellular connections,
including possible cytonemes,
filopodia and
other epithelial bridges. (These

- The fine
extensions of the
growth cone are
pointed filopodia known as microspikes. The
filopodia are like the "fingers" of the
growth cone; they contain...
