Modulation of cell-matrix adhesions to affect mechanotransduction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In cultured fibroblasts three types of cell-matrix adhesion with specific cellular localization and protein composition can be distinguished: focal complexes, focal adhesions and fibrillar adhesions.

The Focal Adhesion Analysis Server: a web tool for analyzing focal adhesion dynamics [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/yc]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2013
The Focal Adhesion Analysis Server (FAAS) is a web-based implementation of a set of computer vision algorithms designed to quantify the behavior of focal adhesions in cells imaged in 2D cultures.

Identification of a novel type of focal adhesion remodelling via FAK/FRNK replacement, and its contribution to cancer progression

open access: yesCell Death and Disease, 2023
Numerous studies have investigated the various cellular responses against genotoxic stress, including those mediated by focal adhesions. We here identified a novel type of focal adhesion remodelling that occurs under genotoxic stress conditions, which ...

Inhibition of focal adhesion kinase overcomes resistance of mantle cell lymphoma to ibrutinib in the bone marrow microenvironment

open access: yesHaematologica, 2018
Mantle cell lymphoma and other lymphoma subtypes often spread to the bone marrow, and stromal interactions mediated by focal adhesion kinase frequently enhance survival and drug resistance of the lymphoma cells. To study the role of focal adhesion kinase

NEDD9 stabilizes focal adhesions, increases binding to the extra-cellular matrix and differentially effects 2D versus 3D cell migration.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The speed of cell migration on 2-dimensional (2D) surfaces is determined by the rate of assembly and disassembly of clustered integrin receptors known as focal adhesions.

ADAM15 modulates outside-in signalling in chondrocyte–matrix interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
ADAM15 belongs to a family of transmembrane multi-domain proteins implicated in proteolysis, cell–cell and cell–matrix interactions in various disease conditions.

Differential regulation of adhesion complex turnover by ROCK1 and ROCK2. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
ROCK1 and ROCK2 are serine/threonine kinases that function downstream of the small GTP-binding protein RhoA. Rho signalling via ROCK regulates a number of cellular functions including organisation of the actin cytoskeleton, cell adhesion and cell ...

Mechanical activation of vinculin binding to talin locks talin in an unfolded conformation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The force-dependent interaction between talin and vinculin plays a crucial role in the initiation and growth of focal adhesions. Here we use magnetic tweezers to characterise the mechano-sensitive compact N-terminal region of the talin rod, and show that

Colocalization of Known Focal Adhesion Proteins and Novel Focal Adhesion Protein GPR98 in Human Neurites during Neuronal Development in 2 and 3 Dimensions

open access: yes, 2023
Focal adhesions are critical to cell motility, morphology, and neuronal circuit formation. Proper neuronal circuit formation relies on neurons reaching the right location, assuming a specific morphology, and connecting with signaling partners. While much

Focal adhesion kinase is required for actin polymerization and remodeling of the cytoskeleton during sperm capacitation

open access: yesBiology Open, 2016
Several focal adhesion proteins are known to cooperate with integrins to link the extracellular matrix to the actin cytoskeleton; as a result, many intracellular signaling pathways are activated and several focal adhesion complexes are formed.
