Preferred Label : focal adhesions;
MeSH definition : An anchoring junction of the cell to a non-cellular substrate. It is composed of a
specialized area of the plasma membrane where bundles of the ACTIN CYTOSKELETON terminate
and attach to the transmembrane linkers, INTEGRINS, which in turn attach through their
extracellular domains to EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX PROTEINS.;
