New research from the University of Utah John and Marcia Price College of Engineering identifies a key mechanism that determines how cells spread and organize their internal structure. The study shows that a cell’s behavior depends on how long the cell receptors known as integrins stay attached to the extracellular matrix. Long-lasting attachments lead to […]
