Comments P.375 left column top paragraph:"[Investigators] previously showed that the length of lamellipodia was ~7 μm and the rate of actin retrograde flow was 6.9 μm/min in N1E-115 cells (primary source), indicating that the turnover time of F-actin and the rate of F-actin disassembly in lamellipodia are 61 s and 1.6%/s, respectively."
