The possible mechanisms of cell detachment in response to dynamic changes in surface crystallinity. There is equilibrium between the pulling forces developed by the cytoskeletal dynamics and tensile stress of the substrate. Sudden transition of the surface from crystal to amorphous abolishes tight anchorage of cell-substrate. As a result, the force equilibrium is lost and the remaining tensile forces developed by the cytoskeleton cause cell rounding.
