Freely Suspended Actin Cortex Models on Arrays of Microfabricated Pillars

Actin networking across pillar‐tops: Actin filaments have been self‐assembled onto microscopic silicon pillars, forming quasi‐two‐dimensional networks (see graphic) and creating novel possibilities for mimicking functions of the cellular actin cortex on solid‐state devices.
