    "abstract": "Motivated by the motion of nematode sperm cells, we present a model for the\nmotion of an adhesive gel on a solid substrate. The gel polymerizes at the\nleading edge and depolymerizes at the rear. The motion results from a\ncompetition between a self-generated swelling gradient and the adhesion on the\nsubstrate. The resulting stress provokes the rupture of the adhesion points and\nallows for the motion. The model predicts an unusual force-velocity relation\nwhich depends in significant ways on the point of application of the force.",
