Abstract excerpt
Many cells adhere to the extracellular matrix (ECM) for efficient cell migration. This adhesion is mediated by focal adhesions, a protein complex linking the ECM to the intracellular cytoskeleton. Focal adhesions have been studied extensively in metazoan mesenchymal cells, but recent research in physiological contexts and amoeboid cells suggests that focal adhesion regulation differs from the mesenchymal focal...
