Figure 3. Simulated keratocyte-like locomotion.
(a) Snapshots of the cortical factor distribution in the keratocyte-like
locomotion. Parameters are set to  . Arrows in the panel indicate direction of motion of
the cell. At the rear of the moving cell, the concentration of the
cortical factor often exceeds its equilibrium value
