Anisotropic forces from spatially constrained focal adhesions mediate contact guidance directed cell migration

Contact guidance on aligned substrates leads to directed cell migration through a poorly defined mechanism. Here the authors show that alignment of adhesion structures and F-actin generates anisotropic traction stress to drive directional migration, and cell-cell contact reduces force orientation an...
