Position-dependent cycling of integrin interactions with both the cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix (ECM) is essential for cell spreading, migration, and wound healing. Whether there are regional
Integrin receptors serve as mechanical links between the cell and its structural environment. Using α(v)β3 integrin expressed in K562 cells as a model system, the process by which the mechanical conne
NP cell cluster sizes on BME and BME-functionalized acrylamide gel substrates. Mean ± SD shown for each measurement, ≥25 clusters per condition. For each measurement (columns), substrates not labeled
