ABSTRACT
We performed a time-lapse imaging with atomic force microscopy (AFM) of the motion of eukaryotic CRFK (Crandell-Rees Feline Kidney) cells adhered onto a glass surface and anchored to other cells in culture medium at 37 °C. The main finding is a gradient in the spring constant of the actomyosin cortex along the cells axis. The rigidity increases at the rear of the cells during motion. This observation as well as a dramatic decrease of the volume suggests that cells may organize a dissymmetry in the skeleton network to expulse water and drive actively the rear edge.
