The actin filament-based movement by which cytoplasmic actin filaments slide past one another resulting in a contraction that propels the cell in the direction that has been defined as the rear of the cell. Self-propelled movement of a cell or organism from one location to another. Any cellular process that depends upon or alters the actin cytoskeleton, that part of the cytoskeleton comprising actin filaments and their associated proteins. The directed movement of substances along cytoskeletal elements such as microfilaments or microtubules within a cell. Movement of organelles or other particles along actin filaments, or sliding of actin filaments past each other, mediated by motor proteins. The actin filament-based process by which cytoplasmic actin filaments slide past one another resulting in contraction of all or part of the cell body. The actin filament-based movement by which cytoplasmic actin filaments slide past one another resulting in a contraction that propels the cell from one place to another. The actin filament-based movement by which cytoplasmic actin filaments slide past one another resulting in a contraction that propels the cell in the direction that has been defined as the front of the cell. Any process involved in the controlled self-propelled movement of a cell that results in translocation of the cell from one place to another. Any process by which a cell is transported to, and/or maintained in, a specific location. The directed, self-propelled movement of a cellular component without the involvement of an external agent such as a transporter or a pore.
