Filopodia are long, thin, finger-like projections of the plasma membrane of a cell that are involved in various cellular functions, such as:<br><br> Cell adhesion and migration: Filopodia help cells to adhere to and move across surfaces.<br> Cell signaling: Filopodia can receive and transmit signals to other cells.<br> Cell-substrate interactions: Filopodia can sense and respond to the texture and surface properties of the substrate.<br> Guiding growth cones: During neuronal development, filopodia can guide growth cones along specific paths.<br><br>Filopodia are often found on the surface of cells that are involved in development, wound healing, and cancer progression. They are characterized by their thin diameter and relatively long length, typically ranging from 0.1 to 10 micrometers.
