KANK1 shapes focal adhesions by orchestrating protein binding, mechanical force sensing, and phase separation

Summary: Focal adhesions (FAs) are dynamic protein assemblies that connect cytoskeletons to the extracellular matrix and are crucial for cell adhesion and migration. KANKs are scaffold proteins that encircle FAs and act as key regulators of FA dynamics, but the molecular mechanism underlying their s...
