Brief description The areas of a cell's attachment to their surroundings are known as focal adhesion. Apart from linking the inside and outside of a cell, focal adhesions act as a communication centre transmitting incoming and outgoing signals. How focal adhesions themselves are organized is currently not known. We propose to adhere cells to model surfaces to control the protein and membrane structure of focal adhesions and measure how focal adhesion structure affects cell communication.
