...Many different interactions are involved in adhesions in vivo: lock-and-key type interactions between proteins (Lauffenburger and Linderman, 1993), force-induced signaling, reorganization of actin filaments and the cortex (Lipowsky, 1995), and various generic physical forces (Nelson et al., 2004)....
