Nascent adhesions (NAs) are a general precursor to the formation of focal (FAs) that provide fundamental mechanism for cell adhesion is, in turn, involved proliferation, migration, and mechanotransduction. form when cells come into contact with substrates at all rigidities generally involve clustering ligated integrins may recruit un-ligated integrins. tend take on characteristic sizes range O(...
