Diversity in emergent cell locomotion from the coupling cytosolic and cortical Marangoni flows with reaction–diffusion dynamics

Fig 3

Flow induced by protrusive coupling.

Cytosolic and cortex flows, in the centre-of-mass reference frame of the cell, during movement under the influence of only protrusive coupling for and . The black arrow marks the polarity direction (and, consequently, the direction of motion as well as the position of the patch of activator). Red lines represent streamlines inside the cytosol. The colour scale for both plots is shown in the middle. Left panel shows cytosolic flow and right panel presents cortex flow induced by protrusive coupling.
