Myosin IIA deficient cells migrate efficiently despite reduced traction forces at cell periphery
Summary Cell motility is a cornerstone of embryogenesis, tissue remodeling and repair, and cancer cell invasion. It is generally thought that migrating cells grab and exert traction force onto the extracellular matrix in order to pull the cell body forward. While previous studies have shown that myo...
