Focal adhesions as mechanosensors: the two-spring model [PDF]
, 2004 Adhesion-dependent cells actively sense the mechanical properties of their environment through mechanotransductory processes at focal adhesions, which are integrin-based contacts connecting the extracellular matrix to the cytoskeleton.
