GlossaryFocal 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.
