Deskripsi

Neutrophils migrate with remarkably stable front-rear polarization. Using optogenetic receptor control to induce reversal of polarization in restrictive microfluidic channels, the authors find that myosin II promotes this stability by suppressing transmission of receptor inputs at the cell rear.
