Interestingly, fluorescence speckle microscopy analysis of the dynamics of actin and Arp2/3 complex in the lamellipodial branched filament array of migrating Drosophila S2 ceils also show that like in the biomimetic system, Arp2/3 is incorporated into the network at the cell edge and undergoes treadmilling-driven retrograde flow at the same rate of 2.
