Cell fitting to adhesive surfaces: A prerequisite to firm attachment and subsequent events
Cell adhesion usually involves extensive shape reorganization. This process is important because i) it is required for efficient cross-linking of interacting surfaces by adhesion receptors the length of which does not exceed several tens of nanometers and ii) it influences subsequent cell differenti...
