The role of actin protrusion dynamics in cell migration through a degradable viscoelastic extracellular matrix: Insights from a computational model.

Actin protrusion dynamics plays an important role in the regulation of three-dimensional (3D) cell migration.Cells form protrusions that adhere to the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM), mechanically probe the ECM and contract in order to displace the cell body.This results in cell migration that can be directed by the mechanical anisotropy of
