## Abstract The formation of focal adhesions that mediate alterations of cell shape and movement is controlled by a mechanochemical mechanism in which cytoskeletal tensional forces drive changes in molecular assembly; however, little is known about the molecular biophysical basis of this response.

## Abstract Force generated in contractile actin filament bundles (stress fibersβ€”SFs) is transmitted to the extracellular matrix (ECM) via linker proteins and transmembrane integrins at focal adhesions (FAs). Though it has long been known that actin is rapidly exchanged in FAs, the connection betwe
