Focal Adhesion Dynamics

Focal Adhesion Dynamics is a biophysical process that regulates the spatiotemporal assembly, maturation, and disassembly of integrin-based adhesion complexes in response to mechanical and biochemical cues, thereby mediating cellular mechanotransduction, cytoskeletal reorganization, and cell migration.
