Detection and definition of micropodia and ultramicroextensions
Ultramicroextensions extend like micropodia from the cell surface, from the tips of micropodia, from microvilli, or they branch out from micropodia or other ultramicroextensions.
Ultramicroextensions may be difficult to distinguish by immunofluorescence microscopy from micropodia that also appear as small fluorescent dots on the cell body, or they may remain undetected due to low fluorescence signal owing to their small size.
We use the term "micropodia" here for morphologically describing filopodia, microspikes, and retraction fibers, and to differentiate these structures from lamellipodia.
While the cytoskeleton of micropodia appeared to connect to the cytoskeleton located at the edge of the cells, by contrast, filaments of ultramicroextensions seemed to extend from or connect to cytoplasmic, rather than subcortical structures.
