Invadopodia - Wikipedia
WEBInvadopodia are actin -rich protrusions of the plasma membrane that are associated with degradation of the extracellular matrix in cancer invasiveness and metastasis. [1][2] Very similar to podosomes, invadopodia are found in invasive cancer cells and are important for their ability to invade through the extracellular matrix, especially in cance...

Invadopodia: Current Biology - Cell Press
WEBMay 6, 2008 · What are invadopodia? Invadopodia, or 'invasive feet’, are actin-rich protrusions associated with sites of proteolytic degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM). They received this name due to their presence at the basal surface of cells plated on beds of ECM and are generally found in invasive, but not non-invasive, cancer cells.
