  text: 'Background: High directional persistence is often assumed to enhance the
    efficiency of chemotactic migration. Yet, cells in vivo usually display meandering
    trajectories with relatively low directional persistence, and the control and
    function of directional persistence during cell migration in three-dimensional
    environments are poorly understood. Results: Here, we use mesendoderm progenitors
    migrating during zebrafish gastrulation as a model system to investigate the control
    of directional persistence during migration in vivo. We show that progenitor cells
    alternate persistent run phases with tumble phases that result in cell reorientation.
    Runs are characterized by the formation of directed actin-rich protrusions and
    tumbles by enhanced blebbing. Increasing the proportion of actin-rich protrusions
    or blebs leads to longer or shorter run phases, respectively. Importantly, both
    reducing and increasing run phases result in larger spatial dispersion of the
    cells, indicative of reduced migration precision. A physical model quantitatively
    recapitulating the migratory behavior of mesendoderm progenitors indicates that
    the ratio of tumbling to run times, and thus the specific degree of directional
    persistence of migration, are critical for optimizing migration precision. Conclusions:
    Together, our experiments and model provide mechanistic insight into the control
    of migration directionality for cells moving in three-dimensional environments
    that combine different protrusion types, whereby the proportion of blebs to actin-rich
    protrusions determines the directional persistence and precision of movement by
    regulating the ratio of tumbling to run times.'
