Article Synopsis
- The adhesion of cells to surfaces is significantly affected by the design of the surface pattern, which in this study was based on previously observed cell adhesion patterns.
- The researchers created a structured gold surface and used optical microscopy to analyze how focal adhesion kinase distributes on unstructured glass surfaces.
- Time-lapse studies showed that cells prefer to attach to the gold pads and shape themselves according to the pattern, with actin filaments aligning along the structures.
