Words similar to filopodia

Example sentences for: filopodia

How can you use “filopodia” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

While the transiently occurring filopodia and retraction fibers can largely be distinguished only by time-lapse video microscopy [ 22], both, micropodia and lamellipodia, are functionally related to movement of cells.
In the C3 electroporated cells, small filopodia extending from the cell body are absent, and multiple branched pseudopodial structures are largely enriched in filamentous actin (Figure 5B, arrows).
Perhaps components required for nucleation are de-localized by BDM allowing new polymerization to be re-directed to filopodia, as filopodial extension is thought to be driven by elongation and not nucleation [ 27 ] . The extension of the growth cone itself could result from a similar diversion of actin monomer from nucleation of new filaments to extension of existing filaments.
We use the term "micropodia" here for morphologically describing filopodia, microspikes, and retraction fibers, and to differentiate these structures from lamellipodia.
The thick actin rich stellate projections emanating from the cell body of C3 electroporated HPB-ALL may be the result of condensation of filopodia, where Cdc42 may be induced into a highly active state.
