Fibronectin promotes directional persistence in fibroblast migration through interactions with both its cell-binding and heparin-binding domains

Abstract The precise mechanisms through which insoluble, cell-adhesive ligands induce and regulate directional cell migration remain obscure. We recently demonstrated that elevated surface density of physically adsorbed plasma fibronectin (FN) promotes high directional persistence in fibroblast migr...
