Mechanosensitive bonds induced complex cell motility patterns
The one-dimensional crawling movement of a cell is considered in this theoretical study. Our active gel model shows that a moving cell with weakly mechanosensitive adhesion complexes tends to move at constant velocity. As the mechanosensitivity of the adhesion complexes increases, a cell with suffic...
