Abstract
Integrins are transmembrane proteins that serve as primary sensors of the extracellular matrix (ECM) environment. In response to interactions with the ECM, integrins initiate signaling pathways that regulate cell migration, growth, and survival. Advances in imaging have contributed to the understanding of the dynamic nature of these cell-ECM interactions and the complexes that form at these sites and have provided insights into their regulation and signal organizing functions.Keywords
