The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Filopodia: molecular architecture and cellular functions (2008, background): “These actomyosin structures, which are generated by formin-mediated actin polymerization and from the actin-related protein-2/3 (ARP2/3) complex-nucleated lamellipodial actin network ( Box 1 ), provide contractile forces for cell migration and morphogenesi”
Actin stress fibers – assembly, dynamics and biological roles (2012, background): “Mechanical tension during wound closure also induces stress fiber assembly in epithelial cells, which then differentiate into myoepithelial cells (Pellegrin and Mellor, 2007).”
Environmental sensing through focal adhesions (2009, background): “Stress fibres consist of actin filament bundles that contain a multitude of accessory proteins, including actin filament crosslinkers (such as α-actinin and filamin) and myosin I”
Physics of adherent cells (2013, background): “Examples include striated stress fibers in fibroblasts and striated stress fiber-like actomyosin bundles in some developing muscle cells (Hotulainen and Lappalainen, 2006; Pellegrin and Mellor, 2007; Rhee et al., 1994; Russell et al., 2009).”
Review on Cell Mechanics: Experimental and Modeling Approaches (2013, background): “Myosin is a molecular motor that ratchets along actin, causing parallel F-actin filaments to slide past each other [39].”
