Keratocytes Generate High Integrin Tension at the Trailing Edge to Mediate Rear De-adhesion during Rapid Cell Migration

Summary: Rapid cell migration requires efficient rear de-adhesion. It remains undetermined whether cells mechanically detach or biochemically disassemble integrin-mediated rear adhesion sites in highly motile cells such as keratocytes. Using molecular tension sensor, we calibrated and mapped integri...
