Complex dynamics inside narrow channels. a Quantification of the complex dynamics of lamellipodium-type cells by tracking the z-coordinate of the center of mass position (black) and the axial extension of the cell (along the channel; red). Both display oscillations, corresponding to the shape changes displayed in b, due to the competition between a deformed crescent and a bullet-like shape, resulting in no overall net motion. c A more complex corkscrew-type of motion in this parameter regime, developing from the one shown in b for longer times.
