Adhesion-mediated Shape Control

Adhesion-Mediated Shape Control is a cellular regulatory mechanism that governs cell morphology through the mechanical and biochemical coupling of cell adhesion complexes to the cytoskeleton, thereby enabling spatially coordinated forces and signaling that determine shape.
