Abstract

Despite their fundamental importance in the regulation of cell physiology, the mechanisms that confer cell adaptability to changes in the microenvironment are poorly understood. A recent study in Cell (Mueller et al., 2017) examines the capability of branched actin networks to respond and adapt to mechanical load in vivo.
