Actin networks in eukaryotic cells mediate essential processes such as cell migration, endocytosis, and morphogenesis. Here, using microfluidics assisted TIRF microscopy, the authors investigate how actin barbed-end polymerases, cappers, and depolymerases cooperate to regulate assembly of these networks.
