The movement of cells along surfaces is a complex phenomenon that consists of several interrelated processes, including cell-substratum adhesion, and extension and retraction of the cell edge, in which the actin cytoskeleton plays a crucial role. The past decade has seen increasingly detailed molecular-based investigations into cell motility, but it is still not known how molecular events are integrated to give cell movement. Molecular studies are now beginning to be linked to a more global concept of how whole cells move, and this combined approach promises to yield new insights into cell locomotion.
