Usage of focal adhesions in anglès
1
Background: FAK localization to focal adhesions is essential for its activation and function.
2
Assembly and modulation of focal adhesions during dynamic adhesive processes are poorly understood.
3
Vinculin was identified as a component of focal adhesions and adherens junctions nearly 40 years ago.
4
Stress fibers and focal adhesions are complex protein arrays that produce, transmit and sense mechanical tension.
5
This results in a net increase in active Rho, and increased stress fibers and focal adhesions.
6
In cultured cells, the matrix receptors are concentrated in sites of cell attachment called focal adhesions.
7
Recent experimental evidence points to the importance of focal adhesions in the regulation of microvascular barrier function.
8
Stress fibers and focal adhesions reformed if cells were allowed to recover for 18 h after injection.
9
By 2 h after injection only a few small focal adhesions persisted, yet the cells remained spread.
10
Down-regulation of RECK by small interfering RNA showed reduced spreading and smaller focal adhesions in the chondrocytes.
11
We carried out experiments with fibroblasts varying in their ability to form actin stress fibers and focal adhesions.
12
These experiments suggest that talin has at least two sites that contribute to its localization in focal adhesions.
13
In addition, betaPIX facilitated the targeting of activated Rac1 to focal adhesions and the efficiency of cell spreading.
14
This is consistent with the codistribution of syndecan-4 with the alpha isoform of protein kinase C in focal adhesions.
15
The short-term (30 minutes) disassembly of focal adhesions is reflected in decreased adhesiveness of EGF-treated cells to substratum.
16
The number and size of focal adhesions as well as their intensity were largely unaffected by genetic removal of Rac1.
