Integrative experimental/computational approach establishes active cellular protrusion as the primary driving force of phagocytic spreading by immune cells

E. A. Francis, V. Heinrich

This paper develops a computational framework to assess the role of active protrusion versus passive adhesion in immune cell phagocytic spreading, finding that protrusion is the primary driver.
