Advected percolation in the actomyosin cortex drives amoeboid cell motility

Abstract Spontaneous locomotion is a common feature of most metazoan cells, generally attributed to the fundamental properties of the actomyosin network. This force-producing machinery has been studied down to the most minute mole...
