called filopodia, often establish adhesive contacts with the cellular surroundings with a subsequent build up of retraction force. This process seems to be impor-tant for cell migration, embryonic devel-opment, wound healing, and pathogenic infection pathways. We have shown that filopodial tips are able to sense adhesive contact and, as a consequence, locally reduce actin polymerization speed. This induces filopodial retraction via forces generated by the cell membrane ten-sion and by the filopodial actin shaft that is constantly pulled rearwards via the retrograde flow of actin at the base
