While fast migration on very low adhesive surfaces requires contractile forces at the cell rear, slower migration on more adhesive substrates is indispensable of contraction.

Rapid leukocyte migration by integrin-independent flowing and squeezing. Nature 453 (2008) 51-55. This study unequivocally demonstrates that integrin-mediated traction is not required for interstitial leukocyte migration in the skin dermis and the lymph node, confirming earlier studies in 3D in vitro assays [39]. Moreover, it showed that protrusive actin polymerization alone drives 3D migration and that cells only require contractile forces when squeezing the nucleus through narrow spaces.
20. •], this study shows that both blebs and lamellipodia occur in one cell indicating that contraction and actin polymerization work together when forming protrusions. A shift in the balance of the two forces determines the actual amoeboid morphology.

This study in zebrafish is the most thorough in vivo study of entirely bleb-driven, directed cell motility. Upon chemoattractant signaling, local calcium-flux-triggered myosin II activity leads to subsequent bleb formation at the leading edge of migrating primordial germ cells.
