Development of a model to explain the effect of variable membrane compliance on single molecule adhesive bond force
The intermolecular bond force existing between adhesive membrane receptors and extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules is believed to regulate key cell functions, such as growth, apoptosis, motility, and mechanotransduction. From a clinical perspective, understanding the mechanics of cell-matrix bonds …
