  • 2 Using a tiny glass micropipette coated in ligands, Ingber and his team gently probed the surface proteins known as integrins, which secure the cell to the extracellular matrix.

    News from The Scientist 2009

  • They found that integrins, proteins that attach a cell's membrane structure to an exterior matrix say, other neurons, when plucked or stretched beyond their normal limits, set off a signalling cascade along what's known as the the Rho-ROCK pathway.
