Tensile Force in GBM. Tension vector (white arrow) applied to GBM cell exerts force on the GBM cell membrane, and in response, the GBM produces an extracellular glycocalyx matrix (purple curved arrow) leading to matrix growth (purple straight arrow); the glycocalyx matrix can pull on the surrounding healthy tissue, inducing net tensile force at the leading borders of the GBM (red arrow).
