The image composite shows a cell migrating over a line, then facing a bifurcation with 2 possible new directions the cell has 2 arms of similar lenght, then eventually one arm grows more and the cells takes that new direction and has a linear shape again.

In a HFSP founded project we found that @ a junction the membrane oscillates & actin #cystoskeleton accumulation define the new direction.
+ cancer cells decide much faster!
