Directional Transport of a Bead Bound to Lamellipodial Surface Is Driven by Actin Polymerization
The force driving the retrograde flow of actin cytoskeleton is important in the cellular activities involving cell movement (e.g., growth cone motility in axon guidance, wound healing, or cancer metastasis). However, relative importance of the forces generated by actin polymerization and myosin II i...
