A three-component mechanism for fibroblast migration with a contractile cell body that couples a myosin II–independent propulsive anterior to a myosin II–dependent resistive tail

To understand the mechanism of cell migration, we cultured fibroblasts on micropatterned tracks to induce persistent migration with a highly elongated morphology and well-defined polarity, which allows microfluidic pharmacological manipulations of regional functions. The function of myosin II was pr...
