Abstract

O'Neill et al. use optogenetic control of two distinct migration modes to address the question of how propelling forces are generated during adhesion-independent cell migration. They show that rearward plasma membrane flow generates tangential viscous forces at the cell-liquid interface to drive the cell forward.
