Abstract

Actin networks adapt to resistance by becoming denser. A recent investigation shows that this mechanosensation relies on a force-sensitive mechanical ratchet of capping actin filaments to reorganize the network. This and other mechanical feedback mechanisms make actin-based protrusion amazingly robust.
