## Abstract The generation of contractile force mediated by actin‐myosin interactions is essential for cell motility. Myosin activity is promoted by phosphorylation of myosin light chain (MLC). MLC phosphorylation in large part is controlled by kinases that are effectors of Rho family GTPases. Acco

Mixing feed fibroblasts with soluble collagen and serum-supplemented culture medium at 37 degrees C results in the entrapment of cells within the polymerizing collagen matrix. This cellular-collagen complex is referred to as a fibroblast-populated collagen lattice (FPCL). In time, this FPCL undergoe
