Cell Polarity During Migration

Cell polarity during migration depends on the cytoskeleton. As a cell moves, it changes shape through repeated attachment to and detachment from the substratum, the surface it grows or moves on. The cell also shifts its organelles to match these changes.

This movement is controlled by a dynamic c...

Cell migration is a complex process that requires precise coordination between different cellular components, particularly the cytoskeleton which comprises actin filaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments.

During migration, actin filaments are dynamically reorganized at the cell periphery and help establish the cell’s leading and...
