Cell motility cycle. Upon integrating signaling cues, a resting cell can form lamellipodia, or protrusive actin-rich structures, and adhere to the substrata with nascent adhesions. In order for the cell body to translocate, the cell experiences contractile tension and rear detachment through de-adhesion.
