Three-Dimensional Balance of Cortical Tension and Axial Contractility Enables Fast Amoeboid Migration

Fast amoeboid migration requires cells to apply mechanical forces on their surroundings via transient adhesions. However, the role these forces play in controlling cell migration speed remains largely unknown. We used three-dimensional force microscopy to measure the three-dimensional forces exerted...
