This is followed by the formation of cell matrix attachments near the leading edge of the protrusion that contact and degrade extracellular matrix (ECM) barriers leading to subsequent movement of the cell body forward, while releasing and retracting the trailing edge of the cell (Ridley et al, 2003).
