Actin flow and traction forces. (A) Spatial distribution of the adhesion strength used in the calculations (dark shading corresponds to stronger adhesion). (B) Open arrows show the computed actin flow map. Shading shows the myosin density (light corresponds to high density). (C) Computed distribution of the traction forces. (D) Actin growth rate distribution at the lamellipodial boundary required to maintain the steady shape.
