Abstract
WASP is a remodeler of the actin cytoskeleton, but its mechanistic contribution to neutrophil migration is unclear. In this issue, Brunetti et al. (2021. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202104046) show that WASP is recruited to substrate-induced membrane deformations near the cell front, where it induces Arp2/3 complex-mediated local actin assembly to direct migration.
