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

A particularly clear example of this is the use of actin cytoskeleton as a “wool” for knitting multiple dynamic structures such as lamellae, filopodia, and stress fibres.
We use the term "micropodia" here for morphologically describing filopodia, microspikes, and retraction fibers, and to differentiate these structures from lamellipodia.
In the literature, terms such as slender filopodia [ 34, 35], or slender microvilli [ 36, 37] have been used.
Data from studies of in vivo and in vitro filopodia formation suggest that they develop as a reorganization of the dendritic network in which they exist [ 29 30 ] . In the presence of proteins that bundle and reorganize actin filaments into filopodial precursors, the de-localization of Arp2/3 and other leading edge components may lead to the formation of filopodia, which are then elongated as described above.
Filopodia formation of short filamentous actin microspikes gives way to membrane ruffling and lamellipodia formation, culminating in the organized production of actin stress fibers.
