T-Plastin reinforces membrane protrusions to bridge matrix gaps during cell migration

In vivo, cells migrate across a diverse landscape of extracellular matrix containing gaps which present a challenge for cells to protrude across. Here, the authors show that T-Plastin strengthens protrusive actin networks to promote protrusion, extracellular matrix gap-bridging, and cell migration.
