and irregular surfaces, while gliding becomes much slower under such conditions. It seems that crawling can be either bleb-driven or actin-driven (see sections below), depending on the nature of the surface.

Gliding

Gliding is similar to crawling, but is characterized by much less adhesion to the surface, making it faster on smoother surfaces which require less traction but slower on more difficult and complicated surfaces. Some cells glide with
