Cell adhesion size as a function of the distance between ligands.
(a) Size of the ACs [50] and fit of the data to a Gaussian hill for ligand spacing of 50 nm (red), 100 nm (black), and 200 nm (blue). (b) The number of ligands nc and radius of the adhesion a for the variation of ligand spacing in α5β1 integrins.
