Actomyosin sliding is attenuated in contractile biomimetic cortices

Myosin II motors embedded within the actin cortex generate contractile forces to modulate cell shape in essential behaviors, including polarization, migration, and division. In sarcomeres, myosin II–mediated sliding of antiparallel F-actin is tightly coupled to myofibril contraction. By contrast, co...
