Transmembrane molecular assemblies in cell-extracellular matrix interactions.
Several new interactions have been identified and proteins characterized in focal adhesions. Together they suggest alternative or parallel linkages between actin filaments and members of the integrin family of extracellular receptors. Transformed cells continue to serve as models for studying the assembly and disassembly of these adhesions.
