Balanced contractility and adhesion drive polarization in a minimal elastic actomyosin network

Zeno Messi, Franck Raynaud, Nathan W. Goehring, Alexander B. Verkhovsky

This paper shows that a minimal mechanical model of an actomyosin network can spontaneously polarize and move through balanced contractility and adhesion, without external cues or complex signaling.
