A role for fascin in preventing filopodia breakage in Drosophila tracheal cells

Filopodia are long and thin finger-like protrusions essential for cell migration. They are formed by parallel actin bundles tightly packed by cell type and context dependent actin-bundling proteins. Our recent work analyzing the role of Fascin during tracheal development in Drosophila has shown that...
