Non-monotonic relationships between cell adhesion and protrusions

Cells probe their environments by extending protrusions: this process is mediated by the polymerization of actin gels at the edge of cells. Although their molecular components have been widely studied, their mesoscopic properties remain to be characterized. In this paper, we show that cell adhesion...
