Abstract

Given its ubiquity and significance to our understanding of physiology, cell motility is a phenomenon that has unsurprisingly garnered significant interest for several decades. Since soon after cells were first studied in tissue culture, scientists have been studying cell migration. Michael Abercrombie′s pioneering work examining cells crawling on glass in the 1950s has paved the way for many researchers in the field. However, a complete understanding of the biochemical and mechanical mechanisms involved has yet to be attained.
