Figure 4.
The membrane lateral tension and velocities characterizing the cell dynamics in the presence of both anchors and adhesions as functions of the membrane area fraction covered by adhesions. The results are shown for several values of the anchor area fraction. (a) Tension at the cell leading (solid) and rear (dashed) edges. (Inset) Difference between tensions at the leading and rear edges. (b) Absolute values of the velocities of the membrane translocation (solid), retrograde flow (dashed), and membrane rolling (dotted). To see this figure in color, go online.
