Cell-scale dynamic recycling and cortical flow of the actin–myosin cytoskeleton for rapid cell migration

Summary Actin and myosin II play major roles in cell migration. Whereas pseudopod extension by actin polymerization has been intensively researched, less attention has been paid to how the rest of the actin cytoskeleton such as the actin cortex contributes to cell migration. In this study, cortical...
