Fig. 5: The distribution of filament orientations in the three different lamellipodia sub-domains.
From: A network of mixed actin polarity in the leading edge of spreading cells
The orientation of actin filaments in respect to the plasma membrane is shown. The histograms show actin filament orientation at the membrane proximal regions and distal regions within the lamellipodia. Protruding (a, b), transition (c, d), and resting sub-domains (e, f). The filament-membrane orientation distribution at the membrane proximal (left) and distal areas (right). The colors indicate the angular orientation as shown in Fig. 4a.
