Geometric trade-off between contractile force and viscous drag determines the actomyosin-based motility of a cell-sized droplet

Cell migration in confined environments is fundamental for diverse biological processes from cancer invasion to leukocyte trafficking. The cell body is propelled by the contractile force of actomyosin networks transmitted from the cell membrane to the external substrates. However, physical determina...
