Filaments mutually enhances the growth of the filopodium. Membrane fluctuations are rectified by a growing filament. The subsequent relaxation of the membrane creates more space for the growth of other filaments. The enhancement is a direct function of the membrane flexibility. The same mechanism must also exist for the lamellipodium growth where branched filaments are coupled via membrane fluctuations.
