GONUTS has been updated to MW1.31 Most things seem to be working but be sure to report problems.

name: substrate-dependent cell migration, cell contraction
namespace: biological_process
def: "The translocation of the cell body forward during cell migration, mediated by tractional force on its substrate and tension in the cortical cytoskeleton. Adhesions transmit propulsive forces and serve as traction points over which the cell moves." [ISBN:0815316194, PMID:11944043, PMID:14657486]
