Abstract
⺠A growing number of studies report observations of self-organized actin waves. ⺠A majority (not all) of actin waves occur in excitable cytoskeleton. ⺠Mechanochemical feedbacks cause wave triggering, termination and spatial coupling. ⺠Actin waves can help cell movement in crowded space or when protrusion is limited.
