    Glossary Focal Adhesion

    specialized cell structures connecting internal skeleton to external environment

    Focal adhesions are specialized structures where cells attach to their surrounding environment, such as the extracellular matrix. They act like anchor points, connecting the cell's internal skeleton to the outside world, and play a crucial role in cell movement, signaling, and survival.
