Rap1 can bypass the FAK-Src-Paxillin cascade to induce cell spreading and focal adhesion formation.
We developed new image analysis tools to analyse quantitatively the extracellular-matrix-dependent cell spreading process imaged by live-cell epifluorescence microscopy. Using these tools, we investigated cell spreading induced by activation of the small GTPase, Rap1. After replating and initial adh...
