I would chose another picture, the one chosen is for a graduate textbook and not for an encyclopedia imho. Look at the discussion site for the picture I suggest (the one from the german wiki). --hroest 18:57, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] THIS ARTICLE IS BASED IN PART ON A ROUGH TRANSLATION FROM GERMAN

Jeez, sombody with deep patience please edit the Assembly-paragraph. Orimlig 15:59, 15 January 2007 (UTC) ...and 'Adhesion dynamics with migrating cells'. Can Germans please stick to editing German wikipedia if their English typing is short of readable? Orimlig 16:02, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

Would not the following picture from the GERMAN WIKI qualify much better to explain what a focal adhesion than the very complicated diagram of protein interactions? (that is also not free content) --hroest 18:53, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, It qualifies as fair use I believe... but I do like the picture you supplied... surely we can use both??? Bassophile 11:23, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Immunofluorescence coloration of actin (green) and the focal adhesion protein vinculin (red) in a fibroblast. Focal adhesion are visible as red dots at the end of the green bundles.
