Pulmonary Circulation, 2021 Increases in lung vascular permeability is a cardinal feature of inflammatory disease and represents an imbalance in vascular contractile forces and barrier‐restorative forces, with both forces highly dependent upon the actin cytoskeleton.

Circulation Research, 2006 The vascular wall contains intimal endothelium and medial smooth muscle that act as contiguous tissues with tight spatial and functional coordination in response to tonic and episodic input from the bloodstream and the surrounding parenchyma. Focal adhesions are molecular bridges between the intracellular and extracellular spaces that integrate a ...

The ubiquitin-proteasome system regulates focal adhesions at the leading edge of migrating cells
eLife, 2016 Cell migration requires the cyclical assembly and disassembly of focal adhesions. Adhesion induces phosphorylation of focal adhesion proteins, including Cas (Crk-associated substrate/p130Cas/BCAR1).

TRIM15 is a focal adhesion protein that regulates focal adhesion disassembly [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2014 Focal adhesions (FAs) are macromolecular complexes that connect the actin cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. Dynamic turnover of FAs is critical for cell migration. Paxillin is a multi-adaptor protein that plays an important role in regulating FA dynamics.

Activation of Rho-kinase and focal adhesion kinase regulates the organization of stress fibers and focal adhesions in the central part of fibroblasts [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Specific regulation and activation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) are thought to be important for focal adhesion formation, and activation of Rho-kinase has been suggested to play a role in determining the effects of FAK on the formation of stress fibers

Diverse cell junctions with unique molecular composition in tissues of a sponge (Porifera)
EvoDevo, 2019 The integrity and organization of animal tissues depend upon specialized protein complexes that mediate adhesion between cells with each other (cadherin-based adherens junctions), and with the extracellular matrix (integrin-based focal adhesions ...

Focal adhesion kinase‐dependent regulation of adhesive forces involves vinculin recruitment to focal adhesions [PDF]
Biology of the Cell, 2010 Background information. FAK (focal adhesion kinase), an essential non‐receptor tyrosine kinase, plays pivotal roles in migratory responses, adhesive signalling and mechanotransduction. FAK‐dependent regulation of cell migration involves focal adhesion turnover dynamics as well as actin cytoskeleton polymerization and lamellipodia protrusion.
