Filament morphology is altered during invasive growth. a Sum projection images of cells expressing GFP-CtRac1 grown in the presence of FCS on or within PDMS of 115 kPa stiffness, for 3h15 or 2h15, respectively. Arrowheads indicate the septa that delimit the measured compartment. b Compartment length is reduced and diameter is increased when cells are grown within a substrate of increasing stiffness (40:1 and 35:1). The length between two septa (left panel) along with the filament diameter (right panel), either the 2nd or the 3rd compartment from the tip, was measured in n = 20–115 cells, 2–22 experiments. SD are indicated and p < 0.0001
