Physical interpretation of the maximum receptor-ligand bond spacing to ensure cell adhesion in ligand-coated substrates

Recent experiments by Arnold et al. (Arnold, M.; Cavalcanti-Adam, E. A.; Glass, R.; Blummel, J.; Eck, W.; Kantlehner, M.; Kessler, H.; Spatz, J. P. ChemPhysChem 2004, 5, 383) revealed that a distance of less than 58-73 nm between receptor-ligand bonds is necessary to ensure focal adhesion in integri...
