Movie 1.

Example 1 of microtubules entering the lamellipodial region of cells. Time-lapse of a PtK₂ cell tubulin-GFP (green) incubated with 200nM of SiR-actin (magenta). The movie is showing microtubules entering the lamellipodial region of the cell (Top) and the corresponding actin structure encountered along their path (bottom). Scale bar, 5 µm.

Microtubules under mechanical pressure can breach dense actin networks
