title: Nascent adhesions: from fluctuations to a hierarchical organization.
abstract: Integrins assemble a complex network of molecular interactions at cell-matrix adhesion sites. Fluorescence correlation microscopy has now shed light on the spatial, temporal and numerical distributions of protein complexes during assembly and stabilization of nascent adhesions.
