Focal adhesions and cell-matrix interactions.

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articlepeer-review

Focal adhesions are areas of cell surfaces where specializations of cytoskeletal, membrane and extracellular components combine to produce stable cell-matrix interactions. The morphology of these adhesions and the components identified in them are discussed together with possible mechanisms of their formation.
