Multiciliated cells use filopodia to probe tissue mechanics during epithelial integration in vivo

Cell integration is a critical process in shaping complex tissues. Ventura and Amiri et al. reveal how multiciliated cells exert forces using filopodia to probe and remodel the neighboring cells, facilitating the formation of a susceptible environment for their integration in vivo.
